Egg-stra tablet delivery

GG Yorkies responded fantastically to a call from the York Carers Centre for help with delivery of IT equipment (tablets with chargers) and Easter eggs to 44 young carers across the city. Today’s windy weather wasn’t an obstacle big enough for the 10 of us to mount our bikes, or go on foot and complete all deliveries within one afternoon.

The Young Carers Team supports young people who provide unpaid care for a relative. The tablets will enable them to participate in online sessions designed to provide a break from caring responsibilities and a boost to their wellbeing, while the chocolate Easter eggs will be needed for their themed session on Tuesday, yum!

Tempted by it Pete decided to go to the shops and get a supply of chocolate eggs for himself.

Jenna took the opportunity for a doorstep chat with few of the young people she was delivering for.

Paula found herself inspired to go for a bike ride on a day she wouldn't normally venture out.

Two of Leanne recipients weren’t at home, but she happily went out again couple hours later, using it as an excuse for extra cake consumption for the energy boost.
