After spending a fantatsic day with our colleagues from the YMCA Vancouver learning from each other, I am currently listening live online to our radio station at the Young Carers Festival at YMCA Fairthorne Manor back in the UK. Question Time has just been broadcast and young carers had the chamce to quizz policy makers in the National Health Service about how they can support young carers. The Children Commissioner Maggie Akinson was also on the panel. Young Carers are still largely hidden in Canada. We spoke with passion to our YMCA colleagues here and you could just hear the penny or cents drop. Lets hope they can advocate for kids that care here in Canada.
A rest day today before we join you all in Denver for the next amazing YMCA gathering.
