We are kindly supported every year by many wonderful volunteers who give their time to our charity. We really couldn’t do what we do without them - from helping out at events and activity days, driving, admin, fundraising, mentoring, advising and lots more we wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to each and everyone who helps us support the young in young carer. #volunteersweek

“We would like to thank all the wonderful volunteers who give up their time to support the work of GYC – be that frying burgers on a bar-b-que, driving young carers to their groups or, as a trustee, ensuring the good governance of the organisation. Your contributions are invaluable, expanding the opportunities we are able to offer young carers, and enriching their enjoyment of activities. We would not be able to do what we do without you!!”

Ele Semadeni, Operations Manager

“As Volunteer Coordinator at Gloucestershire Young Carers, I have the privilege to meet many people from all walks of life and different generations who are looking to volunteer at our charity and certainly feel behind every successfully organised event there is an extraordinary volunteer team.

I see my role as a link between what needs doing and finding the right people to do it.  It’s like a dating agency in a way, trying to marry up people with the right opportunities.

Sending a big thank you to our volunteers for your time and patience, you all help to make my job easier.  We love our volunteers!”

Sue Auld, Volunteer Coordinator
