Scottish Children's Lottery Trust’s Post

🚗 Our charity road trip continues, and this time we’re visiting the incredible team at Carers Trust Scotland 🌍💙 Carers Trust is dedicated to transforming the lives of unpaid carers across Scotland and the UK, offering vital support, services, and recognition to those who care for a family member or friend facing illness, disability, mental health challenges, or addiction—often without pay. Through a growing network of 22 local partner services, they’re making a difference in 22 of Scotland’s 32 local authority areas. With an estimated 800,000 unpaid carers in Scotland, including 29,000 young carers under 16, Carers Trust reaches 66,000 of these amazing individuals, helping them navigate the challenges of their roles. We’re proud to have contributed £3,000 to support The Scottish Young Carers Festival, specifically the Wellbeing Zone. This annual festival offers young carers a much-needed break from their responsibilities, a chance to connect with others, participate in consultations, and most importantly—have fun! 🎉 The Wellbeing Zone was packed with activities like confidence-building workshops, mindfulness sessions, yoga, massages, and more. These workshops equip young carers with tools to manage their wellbeing, long after the festival ends. We had an incredible time at the festival, and we’re grateful to everyone who plays the Scottish Children's Lottery - your support makes this funding possible! 🙌 #Whatarethechances #CarersTrustScotland #ScottishChildrensLottery #YoungCarers #SupportingCommunities #YouthWellbeing #CharitySupport #MakingADifference
