In March, Young Carers In Schools hosted Natasha Rand, the Connect Somerset Champion from Yeovil Art Space, at our latest meeting. She shared her vision of connecting local communities through engagement with education, health, public services, and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. The Champions have been instrumental in raising awareness about young carers and informing us about the incredible support opportunities available in our county.

The Schools’ Young Carers Network organizes this forum as a welcoming space for education professionals.

Future Dates: 29 April, 11 June, 13 July 2026. New faces are always welcome!
