Young Adult Carer Forum
Carer’s Choice Workshops
This project is yours, and i want the work we do to reflect that so by having monthly ses-
sions with young people willing to share their opinion i can put into practice what you guys
want!
A previous meeting was held by Rhupinder which three people attended—a great start! My
aim is across the remaining fourteen months of this project a total of eight people will
have joined in with our idea sharing!
If you think you might like to help make a difference and offer ideas or feedback
on the project contact me!
I will be holding an taster evening soon to talk about and show some of the work that has
been done for you to feedback on, add to or criticise! Keep a look out on our website to find
out the date for this!
Alongside optional 1:1 sessions i will be holding workshops with professionals and guest
speakers to give out up to date and useful guidance on hot topics, such as finance, debt,
stress, as well as topics of your choice.
If you may be interested in attending one or any of these workshops—check on our web-
site for dates and times.
If you have any suggestions on topics that may be useful and interesting—Email, text or
call me via the information given on the last page of this newsletter.

I am Georgina and have taken the role as Young Adult Carers Infor-
mation, Advice and Support Worker as of the 19th of September. I
will be working and based at The Den; My working days will be Mon-
day to Thursday but i can be flexible where possible!
A little about myself, I have studied in the areas of childcare, educa-
tion and health and social as well as having experience working with
SEN, Safeguarding and working young people.
I am eager and excited to be taking on the project Time For Change
and I endeavour to meet everyone to get an understanding of what
you, the young adult carers of Coventry, want support with and what
you would like this project to look like. Please feel free to email or
phone me alternatively I will try and catch up with everyone as and
when I meet them.
Thank you and I look forward to working with you all.
