Carers Week is a national campaign which aims to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK.  Sheffield has an estimated 7,300 young carers.

All over Sheffield, people came together to raise awareness and offer support for young and adult carers.

On Tuesday 13th June, SYC took over Hallam Square to celebrate Carers Week in very loud style at our fantastic 'Move to the Beat' city centre event!

On 30th May, 30 young carers had a wonderful time being the first to get an exclusive play of their ‘story bomb’ radio play, which was written and recorded by young carers during February half term at Hybrid3 Studios.

We are delighted to receive support from the local charitable trust, JG Graves, and from Trusthouse Charitable Foundation for our one-to-one work with young carers. We thank them to providing these vital grants that allow us to provide practical and emotional support to help young carers develop the confidence, resilience, skills and knowledge they need to cope with their caring.

Following years of support for SYC, the new Lord Mayor, Cllr Anne Murphy, has chosen Sheffield Young Carers as one of her charities of the year, alongside four other local charities (Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind, Dementia Action Alliance, ArtWorks and Sheffield Hospital Charity Renal Unit).

We are over the moon to announce that BBC Children in Need has awarded Sheffield Young Carers £29,014 over three years to continue the work of our amazing Action Group.
