After many years of in kind support to GYC, we are delighted to announce the exciting news that we have now begun an official charity of the year partnership with Alexander Burn Funeral Directors for 2022. Alexander Burn is an independent family run firm of funeral directors with Funeral Homes in Bishops Cleeve, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Winchcombe and is owned by Alex Burn.

The partnership will strengthen our relationship and enable the 30 strong team at Alexander Burn to really get involved and feel part of the charity and our work with and for young carers. The team are looking forward to getting involved on a practical level and have already provided craft items for a sibling carer activity day, sponsorship of our Young Adult Carers careers event and offers of help with transport and time through volunteering.

‘We are excited and honoured to partner with Gloucestershire Young Carers this year as an official sponsor. The work they do is invaluable to the young carers in our local community and we are delighted to be able to continue supporting them in a more official capacity’’ Alex Burn.

We are really looking forward to a fantastic year of working together and providing more opportunities for everyone to get involved. Huge thanks to Alex and the team for helping to support the young in young carer.
