News for you

Our amazing fundraiser Jule has embarked on a crazy new challenge - One Hundred Hats Park Run. Thank you Jule!

Marking Carers’ Rights Day (23rd November), we're holding information fairs for Surrey’s unpaid carers. With ACS staff, other charities and local organisations in attendance, carers will be able to ask questions – practical, financial and legal – about their caring role, as well as get general support, advice and information.

Young and young adult carers across the country are invited to sign an Open Letter to the Prime Minister, in advance of the publication of a new All-Party report.

A big thank you to the team from the Berkeley Group who completed the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge in support of us last month.

Our new survey shows just now much young carers' health is affected by their caring role - but there is lots that can be done to help.

Big congrats to our sterling fundraiser Jule who was a finalist in the glamorous Just Giving Fundraisers of the Year Ceremony - in the category 'most creative fundraiser'

Ofsted are currently carrying out an inspection of SEND services, and as part of this, there's a survey to hear the views and experiences of Surrey parents and carers of children with SEND.

As schools return this autumn, read about our support for Surrey's young carers who often face particular challenges in education.

After eight fantastic years leading Action for Carers Surrey as Chief Executive, Jamie Gault is leaving this November for a new role at charity Perennial.

Huge thanks to a gallant team of adventurers at Evelyn Partners who have just successfully completed the Three Peaks Challenge (in just 31 hours) raising funds to help us support young carers. Thank you!
