Teeny Carers, Big Hearts From 10am Ayr Town Hall
We will be launching our Teeny Carer Support Service at Ayr Town Hall - a pioneering initiative focused on identifying and supporting children under 5 who have caring roles (teeny carers).
Caring roles can begin very early in life, yet these experiences are often hidden. This event marks an important step forward in recognising our youngest carers and ensuring families receive the right support at the right time, helping to mitigate long-term impact and allowing children to simply be children.
The morning will include:
A powerful premiere screening of our teeny carer docufilm
A live performance from our Young Carer Choir
Brunch and refreshments
Opportunities to connect with partners and colleagues
