A day of drama and fun was held in the Easter holidays at the Pavilion, Cheltenham for 19 young carers aged between 8-15 years old.

An exciting and a fulfilling day, led by Inclusion Gloucestershire, young carers teamed up in small groups to produce their own scenes to act out to the rest of the groups. They portrayed the concept of what they can do now leading to what they can do in the future, enabling them to make creative imaginative drama, and learning how music and speech techniques can enhance their work to an audience. Imaginative and creative scenes were created from dreams of being a famous football player, travelling with friends and winning an award for being the kindest human being on the planet, were all showcased by our young carers. We had time to socialise and get to know each other better at lunch time with much laughter and chatter!

Young carers said that the day had brought them together,  they felt connected with others, increased their confidence and was fun.

“I really enjoyed today my favourite part was jumping around while my partner made different sounds.” Thank you to Inclusion Gloucestershire for an innovative and insightful experience for young carers.
