Welcome to our August/ September Newsletter!
The Summer Holidays are upon us and the children of Sutton are enjoying their free time away from school! However, we remember the many children and adults who need to care for each other and cannot enjoy as much playful time together as others. That is why we are here!
For continual support and information, please do visit our website: http://www.suttoncarerscentre.org plus 'follow' and 'like' us on Twitter @Sutton Carers and SCC Facebook Page. Here, you can contact us, look at upcoming/past activities and search for information. Whether you are a Carer or partner, you can keep up-to-date with all the happenings at the Centre and for Carers across Sutton!
As always, we have a timetable of events and activities, in the Centre and out in the wider community across the London Borough of Sutton.
We do recognise that for some children who care for their parents/guardians, and for some adults who have caring roles for their children for multiple reasons, the summer holiday can bring its own set of stresses and challenges. So, please do keep a look out for updates on activities/opportunities coming up for Young Carers and Adult Carers - and both together - on our Social Media.
Congratulations to two of our Young Adult Carers who were awarded Jack Petchey 'Outstanding Achiever' Awards for their roles as Facilitators of our Young Adult Carer Peer Support Group! For pictures and more information, please see the Young Carers Section, below.
Is there anything you would like us to add to this newsletter? Please do get in touch through our Website, Social Media, Email: Enquires@suttoncarerscentre.org, call us, or simply pop into the Centre!
Although we are missing our Gemma, SCC now has a few new faces, including myself, Victoria Bastock, as I fulfil the role of 'Temporary Information & Communications Officer' on part-time basis. I will be covering the role alongside Mandy Dennelly, our Office Manager (who is covering for Jessica Appleby, on maternity leave). We are working closely together, with the SCC Team and all the Carers and partners in Sutton, to continue a smooth service until we look to recruit a new Officer to fill the post on a permanent basis.
Best Wishes,
Victoria Bastock, Information & Communications Officer (Interim)
