Sheffield Young Carers, in partnership with Point Blank, have recently created a moving play called 'A Life in a Day', using the voices of characters to show the realities of being young and caring for someone at home. 

Alongside this, we have also produced a powerful documentary called 'Sheffield Young Carers: Our Stories', in partnership with South Yorkshire Film Makers Network. The play has been performed three times and the film screened at the Showroom Cinema to audiences of project members, members of their families and local practitioners. Everyone who watched said they were really impressed...and it was great going to the cinema so the stars of the show could see themselves on the big screen!

The films will now be used as part of our training programme to raise awareness amongst professionals and the wider public about issues faced by young people in caring roles, and have already had this comment posted on You Tube:

Thanks for this :) this is going to help me explain to my class mates what I actually do :)

Here's our documentary

And here's our performance

Hope you enjoy watching them, as much as we did making them :-)
