16/04/2024 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm | Youth Club
Our youth clubs are just for young carers (aged 5 – 16 years). We have separate groups – primary and secondary – so that young carers of the same age can be together.
The youth clubs give young carers a break and a chance to spend time with other young people who live in similar circumstances. We enjoy arts and crafts, baking, drama, sports, music and Xbox!
The youth club for young carers in secondary school is on the third Tuesday of month.
When: Tuesday 16 April, 5 – 6.30 pm
Please call York Carers Centre on 01904 715 490 or email enquiries@yorkcarerscentre.co.uk to find out more.
