Colleen and Beth are visiting Stirling High this afternoon for the S2 Youth Philanthropy Initiative third sector info day. YPI encourages youth to explore local charities, select one to champion, and pitch for a £3000 grant. We're ready to chat about our Young Carers Service and its local impact!

Sharing your experience, even in small ways or anonymously, can help others better understand what caring is really like and what support is needed. It can also help others to see themselves in your experience and reach out for support themselves.
Visit stirlingcarers.org.uk/stories to share yours.
We'll be at The Bellfield Centre at Stirling Community Hospital from 2-4pm this afternoon to chat about the support we can offer. Find us in the entrance area.
