Young Carers Summer Festival

12 August 2021 Kirans Trust

Young Carers Summer Festival

4th year of support from Kiran's Trust

 Carers Trust Scotland held their Scottish Young Carers Summer Festival (virtually) with the support you give to Kiran’s Trust.  The Festival provided the opportunity for young carers to meet other young people in similar situations, share new experiences and of course, have fun! The event also provided a national celebration for young carers to share their experiences, the impact that caring has on them and to suggest changes that could make their lives better. 

Pre-recorded workshops could be accessed any time and covered a wide range of topics and for all ages! Carers Trust Scotland provided over 40 workshops for young people to explore, under three different categories: “Just Fun,” “Life Skills,” and “Self-Care.”  Young carers practiced Italian with Lingo Flamingo, learned magic tricks with Billy the Magician, developed new photography skills with Stills Scotland, and learned more about healthy eating with Nutrition Scotland.
