Kingston Carers Network was delighted to see our friends from the Young Carers Illustrations Project presenting at the Houses of Parliament on Monday, 24 February.

MPs attending the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Young Carers and Young Adult Carers heard about the valuable resources developed with our support. These included the world’s first picture storybook for young carers, Young Carers in Bunnyland, and the pre-assessment booklet, About Me.

Our Young carers from Kingston played a key role in shaping these resources, contributing ideas for illustrations and storylines. They even chose the book’s title and the name of its main character—Honey, a six-year-old young carer.

This work was also featured in a joint report with the University of Plymouth on “Younger Young Carers,” which you can view here. 

We’re incredibly proud of our young carers for their creativity and contributions to these groundbreaking resources!
