We are planning a yearlong programme of respite activities for our Didcot young carers to attend. These activities will be decided by our young carers via our Youth Panel. We plan to use funds to enhance our befriending programme and give the most vulnerable young carers, the opportunity to have weekly 121 sessions with a qualified volunteer, over a period of 6 months. We also plan to produce young carer packs for local schools to further help them identify and address yc in their schools. Our Support worker will liaise with schools to support them and encourage them to set up yc hubs. At the heart of our interaction with ycs sit our fully trained Support Worker whose role is to implement the activities, 121 emotional support and school liaison. Alongside our Support Worker, sits our Befriender Coordinator, who manages our volunteers, organises training and matches our most vulnerable ycs to befrienders.

The funding will be used towards the £419345 total costs of their work with young carers in Oxfordshire. The funding will enable them to employ three support workers to respond to an increase in demand following the pandemic and to geographically extend their services to meet gaps in existing carer provision. Be Free Young Carers are based in Didcot in South Oxfordshire. They are the only organisation providing services for carers aged 8-18 in Oxfordshire and have been delivering these for the past 25 years. Their aim is to enable young carers (8-18 years) to better manage their caring role through providing advice information and support and to raise their profile. The funding will provide an opportunity for BFYC to strengthen its existing support services set up a new service in Oxford City centre where the need is high and currently unmet and establish funding revenues with local trusts funders and businesses to promote sustainable expansion within the county.
