In collaboration with the author, Rab Ferguson, The Junction’s young carers service have delivered a workshop for young carers in three primary schools across South Tees based around his book about young carers called 'The Late Crew'.
The Late Crew is a fun book about young carers investigating aliens! The book shines a spotlight on the realities of being a young carer in an engaging and fun way making the subject accessible to children and young people.
The workshops have been a great success and enabled some fabulous discussions around young carers and the issues they face in a creative way. The young carers have all received a copy of the book and it has been signed by Rab. Well done to all involved!
The YouTube clip below shows a range of young carers from across the country reading from the book.
