Jack Petchey Awards for our Young Carers

In 2023, Young Carers at Enfield Carers Centre voted for their Jack Petchey Achievement Award Winners.

In April, Pedro was nominated by his peers for being very funny and approachable.

One young carer commented that Pedro kept them company on a trip and had been very kind and welcoming to them.

Pedro always gives 100%, is very friendly and welcoming to new young carers, always has a smile on his face, and is a great conversationalist.

Pedro is an avid photographer, and helped other young carers on a photography workshop to achieve their potential.

In June, Ephraim was nominated, after only attending our centre for a few months.

He quickly became a key part of our community. On his first activity with us, Ephraim brought his enthusiasm to creating a rap and instantly befriended many of our young carers.

He easily makes friends and our young carers really enjoy spending time with Ephraim – he is very approachable and easy to talk to.

Our young carers nominated Ephraim for making them smile and ‘bringing light’ to others. One young carer commented that they really respected Ephraim for giving his all no matter what.
