YCDT is enormously proud of young carer Oli, who is a finalist in the Caring Hero category at the Bristol Young Heroes Awards this year.
The awards aim to shine a light on those who have overcome difficult circumstances, made a difference to the lives of others, or achieved something extraordinary.
Oli is a finalist in the Caring Hero category which is defined as "A young person who is looking after a member of their family and sacrificed a lot by putting someone else’s needs above their own.".
Oli always puts others before himself and is an inspiration to all around him, despite what challenges he might be facing. He is so well deserving of being a finalist for this award and I am honored to be his Mentor. All at YCDT wish him good luck for the finals!
Karina, Oli's Mentor and YCDT Charity Manager.
In line with YCDT's objectives, nominees of these awards often report a significant boost in self-confidence, aspiration and said they were more likely to try something new.
The awards culminate in a special gala awards night for the young people and their family and friends to enjoy on 15th July.
Well done Oli!
