TeensPLUS
Our TeensPLUS programme was created to enhance the lives of young people with disabilities and young carers aged 13 - 25. We provide activities to do at home, work with schools and youth organisations to arrange funded activities and day trips and provide respite activity hampers to young carers.
TeensPLUS Challenges
In 2021, we began the TeensPLUS challenges which were offered to young people with disabilities and young carers across the country and provided activities to try at home. Young people were able to try new things and develop new hobbies.
The challenges are now a regular 3H project and are open to all those with disabilities and young carers aged 13 -25.
Working with other organisations
This summer the West Norfolk Young Carers enjoyed a day at a Thorpe Park with help from funding from our TeensPLUS programme. Time was spent on rides giving them a day of fun and respite from their caring roles. A great day was had by all, many wanting to go again and the coach home was filled with sleeping young carers.
Young Carer Hampers
The 3H Foundation supports young carers by working with carer organisations across the UK to provide special hampers full of activities to provide some respite at home. These hampers aim to not only provide some respite but also show the young carer that they are recognised and valued.
We are grateful to all the small businesses who kindly offer discounts enabling us to support more young carers!
