Ruby's Fund is a charity supporting children and young people aged 0-18 years with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their families. This 12 month project will enable us to continue our siblings wellbeing and social group which supports 30 siblings (aged 5-15 years) who are young carers of the brothers and / or sisters with SEND when funding ends in March. The grant will fund 11 x 2 hour monthly sessions which includes session delivery costs for up to 15 siblings per session from across Cheshire East to access the monthly sessions of 'Sibs @ Ruby's'. It is our aim that with our support project siblings who are disadvantaged through their young carers role will have the opportunity to have a break from their caring responsibilities at home, have the opportunity to make new friends, learn new skills to encourage them to reach their potential and improve their own wellbeing by having a sense of belonging, whilst have support from peers who understand the challenges they face and from trained staff.

Ruby's Fund is a charity in Congleton which supports children and young people with additional needs and disabilities and their families. Ruby's Fund parent carer mental health and wellbeing project is a 6 month project providing mental health and wellbeing support to parent carers who are have mental health and anxiety associated conditions because of COVID 19, with online telephone counselling and anxiety and wellbeing workshops delivered by Zoom. The grant will be used to pay for trained counsellors and therapists to deliver these sessions with administration support to take referrals, manage bookings, promote the project and write a funders report. It is our aim through this project that we support parent carers to improve their mental health and wellbeing through counselling and workshops where they learn strategies to improve their self care techniques and resilience, with the aim of reducing the risk of the family unit going into crisis and the likelihood of them requiring support from the NHS or social care during the Covid19 pandemic.
