AN EVENING WITH ENGLANDS RUGBY CAPTAIN OWEN FARRELL We have some big rugby fans amongst our young carers and their families, so it was a very special opportunity for them to have a Q&A session with England Captain Owen Farrell. Prior to the Zoom call we kept it a secret that Owen was going to be joining us; the young carers were asked to send in any question they would like to ask one of the England players. They were all super excited and questions came flooding in, they were even more excited when they logged on to Zoom and found out it was the Captain they would be talking to. The young carers came up with some interesting and mature questions and learnt a lot from Owen’s answers and stories. It was an amazing opportunity for them to hear from a successful sportsman and take in any tips and words of encouragement he had which they can carry with them in their daily life. Some young carers were brave and asked Owen questions themselves, this was a real confidence boost for them. Everyone enjoyed speaking to Owen and we were very grateful that Owen had taken time out of his busy schedule during the Six Nations to talk to them. Owen is a great inspiration to many of our young carers and proved to be a role model to the aspiring rugby players within Cheshire Young Carers.
