We are delighted that on November 12th we will be welcoming Dan Johnson, the Level Up Programme Manager and Clarissa Blackmore, the Programme Manager from MYTIME Young Carers.

MYTIME Young Carers is fighting to level the playing field for young carers. Young carers have been hidden in society for too long, with the vast majority juggling a huge amount of responsibility unsupported. MYTIME recognise and celebrate the incredible young people who do so much to support those that they care for. They believe that young carers should have access to the support, the friendships, and the opportunities every child and young person deserves.

They aim to:

• Raise extensive awareness of young carers and their needs
• Improve the lives of young carers through targeted programmes
• Be leaders of change, using their expertise and data about the needs of the uk young carers community to guide decision-making and offer an expert voice in the field
• Provide a voice for young carers within government and wider society

Community Voices is a collaboration between BU PIER partnership and Centre for Seldom Heard Voices to provide a platform and a voice to local community activists.
