Difference makers

This time Young Carers Team at Young Carers Centre asked us to help with delivery of art materials to young carers across the city in time for their Easter themed Zoom session. The weather was great on Sunday and Monday making our deliveries by bike and on foot very pleasant. We went as far as Wheldrake, or Rufforth and by the sunset on Monday successfully delivered 29 art packs consisting of acrylic paints, paint brushes and an egg cups.

The Zoom art session is designed to give young people a break from caring responsibilities and a boost to their wellbeing and we feel privileged to be able to help to make it happen. A father of one of the art pack recipients was helped by us recently, when we delivered a pulse oximeter for him. Debs was the lucky one to chat with them.

I just want to say, you guys are brilliant. One of you dropped off a pulse oximeter a couple of weeks ago, and it probably saved my husband's life. His oxygen was 93 and dropped to 89 a couple of hours later, so he spent 2 days in hospital, but is now loads better. So if you ever think ''oh I can't be bothered'', that’s the difference you're making... thank you!''
