News for you

A group of Surrey University students are holding a festive quiz - Quizmas - on Tuesday 28th - raising funds to support the work of Action for Carers! Please sign up and join in!

An enquiry into the lives of young and young adult carers across the UK, from the All Party Parliamentary Group into Young Carers reveals devastating evidence of just how much caring affects their futures, the lack of identification and help, and a postcode lottery of support.

We're delighted to announce the appointment of our new Chief Executive, Tim Bevans, who will join us on 20th November.

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.
