We are Colin & Diane Turner and have been volunteering for GYC for approximately 10 years now.

We had always planned to be involved with some volunteering after retirement although not sure who or for what! However, after watching a TV programme featuring young carers, and having been carers for over 10 years for my father who had dementia, we knew that's who we wanted to support.  

During the years since we joined, we have been welcomed and have helped at a variety of events. The Art Auction, Young Carers Christmas Party, Collection Buckets at The Everyman Theatre, GYC Twilight Conference and the Family Fun Day at Over Farm to name a few.  

We also held an Open Garden Coffee/Tea Day at our home and Christmas '23 we held a Christmas Festive Lunch! Both events proved very popular and raised considerable amounts of donations!

All the staff of GYC have been very supportive, welcoming and friendly. So, if you are looking to support an extremely worthwhile cause, please think of GYC and of all the lovely young people they are supporting!
