Mytime young carers fundraising promise

MYTIME Young Carers is registered with the Fundraising Regulator as a sign of our commitment to good fundraising practice. By registering with the regulator, we have agreed to ensure our fundraising is legal, open, honest and respectful.

Our commitment to you

The following promise is a commitment to you, as a donor, in recognition of the invaluable part you play in helping to level the playing field for young carers.  We are not funded by the government and rely completely on the generosity of our supporters in funding our work with young carers and we are incredibly grateful for any donation you are able to give, no matter how small or large, and will endeavour to always make you feel valued as a supporter.
