We’re approaching one of the hardest times of the year for Young Carers and their families. We PLOTTERS wanted to show Sutton Young Carers that they’re not alone.

So we’ve been drumming up support from fellow businesses to buy Christmas care boxes for the YMCA Sutton Coldfield Young Carers Care Box appeal.

We’ve been busy making up boxfuls of essential personal care items as well as specially selected goodies. These are for the children and young adults aged 5 – 25 who attend the YMCA Release Young Carers project.

Joining us is one of our favourite clients, Claire Greenwood from G Comms, who donated £250 in vouchers to make the care boxes even more special. Katie Hale from Halestorm Marketing and Anita Ellis from Lexicomm have also joined the cause. We’ve all come together to spread a little joy after such a tough year.

We then commissioned local artist Sabina Gran (who worked with us on Lockdown Legends last year) to design a charity colouring-in poster for the cause; encouraging mindfulness at a particularly challenging time of year.

“It’s been a tough year for everyone but the pandemic has been particularly hard on those caring for others. The YMCA does an incredible job for Young People in Sutton and we want to show them that they’re not alone.

“The contents of these boxes are things that we all take for granted. So it’s a poignant reminder about helping those in need in our community.”

The Young Carers project provides support and respite for vulnerable Young Carers who often can feel isolated and alone, especially at Christmas.

Alan Burrows, YMCA Project Manager and founder of the campaign, says the growing support is overwhelming, “The Christmas Care box appeal is so important for families that are struggling financially. But it’s also vital for raising awareness of the struggles in our local community and awareness of the sheer number of young people in a caring role.”

Katie Hale from Halestorm Marketing has worked closely with the charity since they were selected as the Chamber’s Charity of the Year:

“A huge thanks to PLOTT who have supported the Young Carers Appeal for the second year. Charities such as YMCA Sutton Coldfield rely heavily on help from the local community and these children and young adults need our support more than ever.”
