CaringKids is inviting young carers aged 13 to 18 its free Joy Maker Workshops this October. Participants will create Joy Boxes packed with toys, games, school stationery and sports equipment for junior young carers.

These workshops are created especially for young carers aged 13 – 18 years. Registration is open to teenagers who are caring for family members living with an intellectual or physical disability, mental illness and terminal illness.

The workshop will run at CaringKids’ Toy Workshop in Banksmeadow, Sydney (close to Marourbra):

Saturday 24 October, both 12:30pm–3:30pm with lunch included.

Participants will meet other young carers, pack and decorate Joy Boxes, and take part in creative activities led by trained facilitators. All participants will also receive a gift to take home.

Young carers give so much of themselves, often without recognition. The Joy Maker Workshops are a chance for teen young carers to have a fun filled afternoon, and to know that the Joy Box they’ve made will make another young carer feel seen.

Free to attend – spots limited. Booking is essential.
