Massive Thank You

Over the last 6 years, we have co-designed and developed support for young carers in East London.

Sadly, we are closing this chapter, but we would not want to leave without thanking you all for your support, kindness, and championing of young carers and young people facing ongoing circumstances.

It is estimated that there are over 1 million young carers within the UK. Contact your local authority for resources, care plans, and support for young carers.

“Yucan has been a dream of mine, manifested from my own experience. I am truly thankful to God for the experience and impact it has had.

A massive thank you to Social Ark for educating me and helping provide the tools to create Yucan. To ALL the young people who helped co-design, develop, and deliver our programmes: through your dedication and strength, Yucan has reached over 300 children and young people, raising awareness and delivering workshops.

Thank you to all volunteers, mentors, youth coordinators, school teachers, safeguarding teams, directors and supporters. We facilitated respite trips, mentoring, and ongoing support outside our school programmes.

To all funders, the National Lottery Community Fund, Blagrave Trust Youth Fund, The Black Funding Network, Social Ark, NewhamWestfield East Bank, The London Legacy Development Corporation and The Paul Hamlyn Foundation, through your belief in us, we were able to work together to support young carers in East London. We are truly grateful.

Lastly, but not definitely least, to all young carers. You are all powerful, wise and just awesome. You deserve rest, peace, and joy, and you are worthy of a childhood/adolescence. WE see you, WE love you! :) ”
