NEWS FLASH
Young carers in Sutherland will be given time out to make new friends and get a break from their caring situation at home, thanks to a grant of £269,873. Over the next five years TYKES (The Young Karers East Sutherland) will support 70 young carers to attend youth groups and other social events that will allow them to be children first and have fun.
Tykes project manager Myra Clark, said: "I am absolutely delighted at the news of our award from the Big Lottery Fund, and thank everyone involved for their confidence and support in our project. The difference the award will make to our project is huge. As the award is for five years funding it means that the pressures of continually looking for funds to continue our service to many young carers in our area is now somewhat eased and also means that we can put some longer term plans in place, giving a more sustainable service to the young people."
