16/09/2025 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm |
We run youth clubs just for young carers (aged 5 – 16 years old). We have separate groups – primary and secondary – so that young carers of the same age can be
together.
When: Tuesdays 16 September, 5 – 6.30 pm
The youth clubs give young carers a break and a chance to spend time with other young people who live in similar circumstances.
We enjoy arts and crafts, baking, drama, sports, music and Xbox!

18/09/2025 5:15 pm - 7:00 pm | Friends Meeting House
An evening of reflection and celebration.
As we mark 30 years of supporting carers, we’re taking a moment to reflect on our journey – and we are inviting anyone who has been part of that journey, at any time over the past three decades, to join us at our AGM.
It will be a special evening to look back, share memories, and celebrate the many lives touched along the way. Whether you’re a carer or professional who worked alongside us, a former member of staff, or even a young carer from years past (who might now be in your 40’s!) we’d love to see you. We’d love to hear how you’re doing and what our support has meant to you over the years.
When: Thursday 18 September, arrive for 5.15 pm. AGM runs 5.30 – 6.30 pm with time afterwards to meet the team.
Where: Friends Meeting House, Friargate, York YO1 9RL.
Buffet food and drinks provided.
Book via this link or email events@yorkcarerscentre.co.uk or call 01904 715 490.
23/09/2025 10:30 am - 12:30 pm | York Theatre Royal
Our creative workshops are continuing, and we’d love for you to join us. We will be using creative writing, art, music and performance to explore feelings of grief and loss.
Matt from Next Door but One theatre group will be facilitating the workshops, and we welcome all loss experiences; from bereavements to changes in identity, the loss of a relationship, the loss of a job and everything in-between.
You are welcome to come to one or all the workshops. Each workshop will have a different theme, and staff from York Carers Centre will be on hand to support and join in.
Sessions will be ongoing until December 2025.
“I felt really fragile today. Like a watering can with lots of holes in it, you need to find ways of filling it up again. And doing this with everyone has done that for me.”
When: Tuesday 23 September, 10.30 – 12.30 pm
Where: York Theatre Royal, St Leonards Place, York YO1 7HD
To book please email events@yorkcarerscentre.co.uk or call 01904 715 490.
