This year the Gallery are supporting Gt Yarmouth and Gorleston Young Carers. GYGYC offers support and respite to young carers aged 8 to 25. With opportunities for fun and learning, through trips, training, sports and workshops. This takes place in a space where they can be together and develop friendships with likeminded young people in similar situations. This space offers a safe and secure environment to support the young people to develop coping mechanisms and strategies. The aims of the groups are to help the young people feel less isolated; encourage understanding of their situation and be able to ask for help/support; enable them to reach their full potential despite their situation; and allow the young people to mix together and have fun. Find them on Facebook to see what they get up to.
