The EyPIC Project are proud to be working with Jack Petchey on their achievement and leadership award schemes.
This means that our Young Carers get to nominate one of their own, a few times a year, for an achievement award, which then gets spent on either equipment or an activity chosen by the winner. It is a wonderful way for young carers to receive some recognition from their peers and for the project to be able to celebrate those achievements with all of the Young Carers.
We are also proud members of London Youth and have worked with them on two
amazing projects. The ‘Youth Leadership Awards Scheme’ where five of our 16 year old Young Carers came together to plan a project to raise awareness of Young Carers. This included two residential trips away to meet other youth groups and preparing a pitch and presentation to the London Youth Team, which they did perfectly.
We also participated in the ‘Keeping It Wild’ project, where a team of our Young Carers worked on a project to raise awareness of environmental issues.
