We were absolutely delighted to receive a fantastic £5700 donation from Stubbington Green Runners last month in support of YCF, following their inspiring fundraising efforts at the Stubbington 10K held in January.

From seasoned runners to first-time participants, and from volunteers to donors cheering from the sidelines, each person played a part in helping to raise this incredible total for young carers.

Fundraising of this kind makes a meaningful difference to YCF, helping us continue to provide a fun, supportive, and uplifting environment for young carers. These young people take on significant responsibilities at home, and opportunities like the Young Carers Festival give them the chance to step away from daily pressures, connect with others who understand their experiences, and simply enjoy being children and young people.

We would like to extend a huge and heartfelt thank you to Stubbington Green Runners for their support, as well as to everyone who took part in the Stubbington 10K, made donations, or contributed in any way. Your generosity and community spirit are genuinely appreciated and have a direct impact on the lives of young carers.

With less than two weeks to go until the festival, excitement is building as we prepare to welcome young carers for what promises to be an unforgettable experience. There is still time to support our work and help us create lasting memories for these remarkable young people.
