| Recipient Org: Description | EYC provide respite and support to young people (aged 5+) in Edinburgh who care for somebody at home. We aim to improve the lives and wellbeing of young carers by raising awareness, offering emotional and practical support to maintain a balance between their caring role and their need for time and space for personal development. We enable them to overcome issues resulting from their caring role including lack of confidence, anxiety, low self-esteem, isolation, difficulties learning at school and financial worries. Our current services include: ? A professional Counselling service ? One-to-one support for the most vulnerable young carers ? Group support including our ?Happy Heids? groups for very young carers ? Specialist support for young carers whose parents are drug or alcohol dependent ? Transitions support for young adult carers (aged 16+) ? Social activities including days out and residentials ? A schools awareness project, supporting school staff to identify vulnerable young carers ? A Young Carers Forum allowing young carers to become involved in decision - making and develop leadership skills. In our last financial year, we delivered: ? Support to over 330 young carers ? 172 counselling sessions to 22 young carers ? Awareness-raising workshops and assemblies to 2650 school students ? 98 hours of one-to-one support to 71 young carers in a school setting ? Intensive support to 50 young carers who care for parent/s who use drugs or alcohol And developed: ? A specialist transitions service for Young Adult Carers ? The ?Happy Heids? wellbeing and mental support for young carers of primary school age During Covid, we had to reconfigure our services in an environment where pressure on young carers is more acute than ever. We delivered Zoom game and quiz sessions, and kept in touch by phone, chat and email. Our staff were working from home and were able to deliver services digitally and online, keeping in touch by phone, chat, email and social media. Through the generosity of funders, we were able to purchase IT equipment for our young carers and their families to ensure they could engage with us and feel less isolated. Going forward, this will now form part of our ?blended? youth work support. |
