Making happy memories and building brighter futures for young carers.

Since 1996 Honeypot has been working to enhance the lives of young carers aged 5-12 years by providing respite breaks and on-going outreach support. In the UK nationwide, we give young carers a break from demanding and stressful responsibilities at home and provide a safe, nurturing environment where children at risk can develop their full potential.

Due to the sharp rises in the cost of living, many are struggling. It has been especially challenging, economically for many young carers and their families who live on a budget tightrope.

Honeypot's wrap round services supports these young carers by;

• Making happy memories on Respite Breaks at our houses, the chance to be children. 
• Building resilience, confidence and social skills on educational booster breaks (SEAL).
• Continuing friendships and experiencing the first trip to the seaside, riding on a rollercoaster or holding a baby sheep on Memory Making Days.
• Accessing support for essential life items such as a new washing machine, healthy meals or a bike through Honeypot's Wellbeing Fund and Healthy Eating and Nutrition.
• Consistent support to enhance and ensure the wellbeing of the family and young carer through Pastoral Support.

Very few services exist for young carers. Of the few organisations that do support young carers in the UK, we are the only service that offers consistent outreach support and respite breaks.

Thanks to your donations we are able to provide ongoing, recurring support for young carers for up to 8 years. 

“We believe that every child has the right to make the most of their one chance at childhood, regardless of the circumstances they experience at home. This is why we exist.”

— Simmi Woodwall, CEO Honeypot
