Story

I was a former Young Carer about the age of 14/15. I was caring for my mother since i was 5 with an Alcohol problem and i joined the PKAVS charity and helped me make friends , build up my self-confidence. After my mum passed away, i moved to my gran's for 8 years carer for her. 

Then when i was 18 i joined the Young-Adult Carers Services. They helped me how to cook under budget and learning life skills i needed when i was moving out into my flat from my gran's house.

I wanted to repay the favour for years of services for me and the other Carers who needed support.I wanted to raise more funds for the Young Adult Carers because its just a newly recent addition to the PKAVS charity and to me they should  have more opportunities to get more residential trips and more activities in future as well as more support.
