Our Impact

At Yucan, feedback is very important to us because we are user-led. We measure the impact of every one of our young carer workshops, mentoring sessions and assemblies through feedback sheets and testimonials. Your feedback is used for our evaluation to help us ensure that our services keep young carers at the heart of what we do. Here are some of the ways we have made a difference for young carers:

  • "What you are doing is great; we were thankful for the support Yucan has offered our students at St Luke's and hope that many more young carers receive this help.”

    Matthew Hipperson, Head Teacher of ST Luke’s CEVA Primary and Nursery School

  • “Some of our Young Carers are coming out of themselves in the sessions, and I've seen a completely different side to some of them; it's great they have this space for that!"

    Dean Scott, Teacher at ST. Luke’s CEVA Primary and Nursery School

  • “The celebration was like nothing I had experienced before. Seeing the full impact of the young carer space project was overwhelming. It became so much more evident that young carers need this work and need it regularly in school settings. Seeing young children express themselves and be reaffirmed in their presence made me grateful for Yucan’s work. Being a part of the day has made me want to find ways to support and champion Yucan’s work.”

    Tiwa King, Singer, Speaker and CEO Beyond a Song

  • “This was one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done; working with such intelligent, thought-provoking children was amazing. It was incredible that they take on so much and still find a reason to express how much they love life through poetry. I would 100% love to come back and do this again.”

    KOFA, Performer, Self Development Coach and Poet

  • You're doing brilliant work Sanyu, we work with so many injury clients who have children that become Young Carers. Keep doing this good work.

    Stephanie Clarke, Partner of Stewarts Law

  • "Sanyu was one of our incredible winners for the BBC Radio London Make a Difference awards – where we celebrated the unsung heroes of London. We were delighted to mark her achievements as part of the special event."

“ If it weren't for Yucan coming to my school, I would have never learned that I was a Young Carer. I help my Mummy with her issues at home, and The Young Carer Space project helped me have some time for myself." Young Carer Space Participant
