March 2020
AHS Young Carers organised a NON UNIFORM day and cake sale to raise money for Bucks Young Carers. An amazing £1,043.82 was raised.
Thank you to everyone who contributed, particularly 8A and 11C who made the most cakes.
Here is the assembly presentation delivered by our Young Carers in March 2020
A Young Carer is a person under 18 years of age. A Young Adult carer is someone between 16-25 years of age. They provide care for another person, who is ill, disabled, has a mental health condition or addiction problem.
“A Young Carer/Young Adult Carer becomes vulnerable when their caring roles impact their emotional or physical wellbeing and their prospects in education and life” (Department of Health, 2014).
