On September 7th, we had the pleasure of being part of an unforgettable experience – a sponsored walk hosted by our amazing partner, Frettens Solicitors.

This special event highlighted the extraordinary efforts of community heroes who made a significant impact on the lives of young carers over the past year. From dedicated volunteers to compassionate supporters and organisations, these individuals demonstrated unwavering commitment and generosity towards the MYTIME Young Carers community.
