I'm Sophee and i'm a young carer. I have a vision, a vision to make a change. My vision is to make people aware of who we are and what we stand for. I want to represent other young carers and our rights, views and opinons. Our mission is to empower young carers to have a voice. I am one of the founding members of the Young carers revolution steering group! During our time in this group we have been disscussing ways in which we can make a change by raising awareness and improving peoples understanding of what we do.
I am involved in the YCR steering group to get across the points of me and other young carers. Our initial ideas have been to gibve ourself an identitiy in the form of a logo/brand that represents the YCR. Our other ideas include: recruiting new members, contacting people of infulence and creating a media campaign and to highlight some of the key issues raised by young carers.
We have also consisdered setting up a conference led by young carers to influence schools, doctors, parents and other professionals working with young carers and their families.
I'm looking forward to where the YCR may take us.
