Calling all young carers (aged 15+) and young adult carers (aged 16-25)!

On the 18th August, enjoy a fun and unique opportunity to get up close with some friendly alpacas. Spend time in the outdoors, learn more about these amazing animals, and enjoy a relaxed walk alongside them.

This experience is open to young carers who are currently known to the Young Carers Service and who are able to take part in an approximate 45-minute walk with the alpacas.

It's a great chance to take a break from your caring role, meet other young carers, have some fun, and learn more about how we can continue to support you in your caring journey. Places are limited, so don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to connect, recharge, and make some unforgettable memories with our furry friends!
