A group of 18 young carers from Narberth are looking forward to an Easter outing to Folly Farm, thanks to a £150 donation from Narberth Civic Week.

The money was given to Action for Children-Gweithredu dros Blant’s Pembrokeshire Young Carers project, which will arrange the special trip.

The service supports children and young people aged between eight and 25, whose lives are restricted by the need to care for a family member with a long-term illness or disability.

It offers a variety of activities aimed at encouraging the young carer to relax, socialise with others and concentrate on their own needs.
