What does it mean to be a young carer?

For thousands of children, it means juggling their education and social lives as well as the responsibility of caring for a loved one.

This short film created by Kent Community Foundation captures one of our special respite days at Bowles Rocks, made possible thanks to the generosity of the Ivy and Jane Charitable Trust. Their funding, administered by Kent Community Foundation, has been a cornerstone of support for 20 years - a true partnership committed to improving young lives.
