Timothy Jones In Sydney, there are over 10-12% carers who are younger than 25 years of age. They either take care of a parent or a sibling. A lot of them don't identify as carers. Some don't know carer is a term used for them. Therefore, the need to make young carers aware is paramount.

Josh Smith Volunteering is a serious commitment. A volunteer needs to understand the responsibilities of helping with events or projects for carers or their wards. Being a volunteer is not easy, and it requires your full attention. In addition, a volunteer must remain calm and patient at all time.
Shannon Lee FESTofALL recently took a group of carers and their wards for a picnic in Bradfield Park. The event was a huge success as everyone enjoyed the day out. It provided respite to the carers and a chance for their wards to have social interaction. Our volunteers enjoyed as well and helped in making this event a success.

Dolly Menon Half of 2019 is up, and it was an excellent half for carers, volunteers, and organisations like us. With more and more people getting aware, donating, and volunteers, Sydney recorded the most number of care awareness campaigns in history. This positive change has led to more carer recognition, appreciate, and upliftment.
