CHRISTMAS HELP Christmas is looming! We understand this can be a stressful time and there is a lot of pressure on families. We are hoping that we may be able to put you in touch with people that can help.

For example, in the past we have unexpectedly been inundated with donations from the community and we decided to make Christmas hampers for some of our Young carer families.

We are asking you to get in touch if you would like more information about support we can offer. We can then look to find ways in which we are able to help.

Please could you contact Danielle by email: DSmith@1community.org.uk or call: 023 8090 2403

BY MONDAY 29TH OCTOBER

MEET THE NEW SINGING GROUP LEADERS Tom Hi! I’m so excited to get started with the Young Carers’ singing group! Music has always been my passion, having started playing and singing at the age of 4, and I can’t wait to share the joy it brings with a group of people who give so much to those they love. It will be an honour to give something back to them!

Gemma Hello everyone! A lot of you may have met me already on trips or in school or even going back to the 811 Project! I am really excited to be running the singing group and I am looking forward to meeting everyone and spending time singing and having a good time.

I really want the group to be a positive space where everyone can feel at ease. If you have any interest in singing please come along and give it a go! We look forward to seeing you on the 8th October.
