  • Young Carers Festival

    Hi all,

    Last year the Princess Royal Trust held the first ever Young Carers Festival and it was a great success. It is going to be taking place again for all of those 1st year and above, however unfortuntely neither Karne nor Kirsten can accompany young people to the festival.

    If you would like to attend we would need to try and see if a young carers project or volunteer would be able to accompany you! If you would liek to go, let Kirsten or Krane now. However there are no promises!
