Friday 8th July 2022 Young Carers Event
Our Young Carers cohort had loads of fun in the sun, bouncing through the inflatable assault course and ‘battling’ in the safest possible way in kangaroo suits. Refreshments and ice creams were provided to combat the high temperatures, and everyone was given a shopping voucher to take home. What fun!

Our Ambassadors
The Staff and Students of St Anselm Catholic School Canterbury had an opportunity to learn and reflect on the day to day life and challenges of a Young Carer.
This was thanks to the bravery and the collective effort of the following Young Carers Ambassadors.
We render immense gratitude to them, for their readiness to share their unique and touching experiences eloquently and with a smile on their faces.
The Young Carers Assembly Week this year , which coincided with the Young Carers Awareness Week, was a huge success and will forever be remembered in this school community.
