Project Spotlight: Weekenders

There are loads of young people in Cardiff providing some form of support or care for a parent or sibling with some sort of disability. We at SVC think that these young carers deserve some respite and some fun!

Our amazing volunteers give up their time once a month and provide a variety of trips and activities so that these young carers can have a break from the stresses of everyday life and take on opportunities they wouldn’t have had the chance to normally.

There are two groups, ‘kids’ and ‘teens’, and each team does a huge range of fun and exciting activities.

Adventures have included Bristol Zoo, swimming, ice skating, rock climbing, Laser Quest, bowling, a Christmas party, Oakwood and much more!

Our volunteers take responsibility and care so that these young carers can have a day without worry and just be kids again. It means so much to them and their families, and our volunteers do an incredible job.
