About the Children's Society
The Children's Society fights for the hope and happiness of young people when it's threatened by abuse, exploitation and neglect.
The Children's Society works with young people who have suffered years of abuse, who have run away from home or are struggling with mental health issues. They look out for young carers and those who are at risk of being groomed by gangs. They help refugees who have no one else to turn to in this country.
Bupa Foundation and The Children's Society
The Young Carers’ Active Connections Programme was funded by the Bupa Foundation to support young carers aged 11-18 in Hampshire to access sports and physical activities. Through providing young carers with access to physical activities, the service aimed to increase young carers’ commitment and desire to do sports, and ultimately improve their physical and mental health.
The service also aimed to make sports more accessible to young carers, and make sports providers more aware of and responsive to young carers’ needs.
