Support carers as a volunteer or with donations.
There are many ways to support our work with carers. You can make a one off donation, become a regular donor or run your own fundraising campaigns. You can volunteer your time with us to work behind the scenes or with carers directly. Volunteering areas include administration; befriending/mentoring carers; fundraising; sessional work; helping with events, activities or marketing. This is not an exhaustive list, volunteer roles are discussed and agreed upon to suit the needs of all involved.
donation stories
Our donors and fundraisers are of all ages and we are constantly amazed by their dedication and ingenuity. Incredibly, 9 and 10 year old pupils at Eversfield Preparatory School got creative and took on the Fantastic Fiver Charity Challenge raising over £5,000 to help carers. Each child was given £5 each and over the course of the six-week challenge used their own business ideas to raise as much money as they could to help young carers in Solihull. Their hard work & creativity is an inspiration.
