Imago's Young Carer Support Coordinator, Sim, nominated Billy for an award.
Her nomination said:

'Billy's family are grateful for the support he provides them on a daily basis. Billy is also a part of the (Imago) Youth Shadow Board (discusses Children and Young People services, what more can we do to raise awareness in schools, communities) and the Young Carers National Voice (to engage with other young carers across the UK to participate in national campaigns to make positive changes i.e. changing policies in schools to support young carers).

Billy is also a part of a group of young carers who are working with publishers to create a comic book for young carers. He is sharing his experience of being a young carer from a young age and to make positive changes to support all young carers.'
