Young Carers
CrEative MakerS
YCCM continues to provide meaningful creative outlets across Barnsley, Huddersfield, and Wakefield. Each location welcomes around 15 young carers during school holidays, where they try new creative challenges and step into brave spaces together. Through theatre, visual arts, movement, and collaborative projects, these young people share experiences and support each other while exploring their creative interests. This summer we brought all three groups together for a day of performance and games, strengthening connections between young carers, services, and arts venues across Yorkshire.

Amplify is a programme of co-created projects with young carers. The two projects are:
Speak To Me: a project in Salford between LUNG, the Caribbean and African Health Network and GADDUM (Salford young carers service) and saw a Black young carer, a director and a visual artist collaborate as artists to create resources
On The Inside: a project created in Oldham through LUNG and Positive Steps (Oldham Young Carers Service) and saw 4 South Asian Young Carers work with a director and visual artist to create a visual resource
Thank you to our funders GMCVO and the NHS.
