Fundraising / Donations
As a charity, we rely greatly on donations and fundraising to provide Young Carers in Oldham with a break from their caring responsibilities to reduce social isolation, increase positive mental health and physical well-being.
We are incredibly grateful for the donations received, which allow us to continue to provide much needed support to the Young Carers in Oldham.
