Carers Week Social Media Campaign – Young Carers and Young Adult Carers 9-15 June 2104
“I don’t think most people have a clue what a young carer is, let alone what they might actually do” (YC from Norfolk) “most people just think young adult carers are lazy as we don’t do well at college…we’re not lazy, we have more going on than many tutors would imagine” (YAC from Norfolk)
Join us in Carers Week 2014 to raise awareness of the amazing work young carers/young adult carers do. We want to try and raise awareness of what life is ACTUALLY like for YCs/YACs through a social media campaign using the hashtags #ycmyths ycsuperheroes @NorfolkYCForum Norfolk Young Carers Forum To sign up for updates, facts, figures and example posts and tweets you can use just email the forum members at [email protected] and let us know you will be joining in.
