Northamptonshire Carers want to provide more opportunities for Young Carers to get a break and meet other children in similar situations
Gwyn Roberts, Deputy CEO of Northamptonshire Carers, reports:
“Every day we have the opportunity to support Young Carers throughout Northamptonshire and see the huge benefits that an evening away from caring can provide. The Big Give Christmas Challenges enables donations to be doubled so if supporters wish to donate this year then donations go much further at this time of year. We will ensure that money raised will go to boosting activities for Young Carers. Thank you”
Jonathan Frank, Director of The Big Give, adds:
“The Christmas Challenge is a great opportunity for the British public to maximise the impact of their charitable gifts. Launching on Giving Tuesday, we’re encouraging everyone to consider the causes closest to their heart and to donate, enabling us to help ensure those donations go even further.”
