The Evening
The Young Carers Development Trust would like to offer an enormous congratulations to two of our young carers Oliver Baker and Louis Pang, who both received awards at a wonderful evening put on by Alliance Living Carers Support on the 21st November. The whole evening centred around celebrating the achievements of their young carers, all of whom are phenomenal young people. It was very moving and superbly executed, from the music and dance performances by the young carers to the introductions of each young person receiving an award.
The Awards
Oliver - received an award for his achievements in learning. Alliance Living Carers Support said this about Oliver: "Oliver is our second young carer to receive the Young Carers Development Award from this wonderful Trust. So far, four of our young carers have been lucky enough to be supported to achieve their dreams. Our winner tonight is about to embark on the second year of his four year-long-journey. We want to express our joy and recognition that he has fully embraced this opportunity. He and his mum said the support around learning has been life changing – we know Oliver will go on to achieve all of his ambitions."
Louis - received an 'aspirational award'. Alliance Living Carers Support had this to say about Louis: "Louis Pang shows such passion in his future goals, self-development and determination. Louis is an inspiration to us all as well as being funny, engaging and genuine wherever he goes."
We are very proud of all of our young carers and delighted to be able to highlight the achievements of these two.
