Young Carers Club

Volunteers on the Young Carers Club project support day trips for children in Cardiff who are classed as young carers, meaning they have either a parent or sibling with some form of disability and may be required to provide some of the support and care. The project aims to provide a variety of trips and activities that these children may not otherwise get the opportunity to access. It also give them the chance to have a break from the stresses that they face at home.

There are two groups – ‘kids’ and ‘teens’ - and each group is taken by a group of volunteers on a trip once a month during term time. This could be swimming, ice skating, Lazer Quest, bowling, trips to Bristol Zoo or Weston-Super-Mare and more! The cost of all activities is covered by SVC. 

Volunteers need enthusiasm and energy as the trip days can last for long periods of time (e.g 10am – 6pm); have a caring and responsible attitude towards children and the ability to work as part of a team.
