Barnardo’s stormed ahead last month to win the last round of the You decide vote winning them the much coveted Hot Desk Pack and a pair of BlackBerry® Curve 9300 Smartphones on Orange!
A message of thanks from Barnardo’s Action with Young Carers- Liverpool:
”Thank you so much for all the people who voted for Barnardo's and a huge thanks to Orange RockCorps for all of the amazing donations you have given to Barnardo's. These items will definitely make a huge difference to the work we do with children and young people, particularly around communicating more easily with the Young Carers involved in our service. Also, thank you so much for the support of all our dedicated volunteers who give so much of their time to support some of the most vulnerable children and young people.”
As a big thank you to everyone that voted for them and volunteered with them, three of their volunteers wanted to give you an insight into their reasons behind volunteering for http://www.barnardos.org.uk/youngcarersnorthwest.htm">
Meet Rachel, Lisa and Emily:
“We have been supporting the young carers to have breaks from caring and fun days out. We have organised art and craft groups and gym groups for the childen and young people. In addition, we have also been involved in some direct work with families to encourage healthy lifestyles.
I really feel like we are helping and making a difference to the lives of the young carers we support at the project. The staff go out of their way to support us and we have a lot of freedom to develop and run interesting and creative sessions and groups with all the young carers.
We wanted to volunteer there as its a well known and well respected charity, we all wanted to work with vulnerable children and families and Barnardo's has enabled us to do that. We all support their campaign and in particular their work with young carers.”
