We're delighted that a story about young carers was chosen for CBeebies Bedtime Stories, read by Natalie Cassidy. The story follows a girl who cares for her brother and finds the courage to speak up about her caring role. Watch it here ⬇️ youtube.com/watch?v=g886DB8K…

We all run a bit low sometimes. When you do, look after yourself and give yourself time to recharge. 🔋 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MHAW2026 #MentalHealthTips #MentalHealthAlliance #Chester #SmallCharity

We’re currently looking for a donated smartphone for a client who needs access to an app to book work shifts. Having a phone will make a direct impact on their ability to secure consistent employment. If you have a spare device in good working condition (with WiFi capability), please reach out. Your support can make a real difference. Thank you!
