YOUNG South Craven carers joined others from across the district in a summer of activities.

They took part in pursuits ranging from climbing, at High Adventure in Cowling, to sailing.

The activities were organised by the Young Carers' Resource charity, for children – some as young as seven – who look after a parent or sibling.

Anne Wells, fundraising co-ordinator at Carers' Resource, said: "There have been some excellent trips and activities and they were a big hit.

"The summer holidays can be a long, challenging time for young carers and some may struggle to get out and about.

"These days out and special events are a great way for the youngsters to try new things and share new experiences, while helping them keep in touch with their friends and have a break from caring.

"All the activities were kindly funded or made possible through support and donations from various community groups, businesses and individuals.

"It's thanks to them that almost a hundred young carers have had a super summer to remember."

Young Carers' Resource provides support including one-to-one mentoring and youth and after-school clubs.
