Thanks to your generosity, more young carers are building confidence, discovering their strengths and stepping into leadership.
Your support helped young carers like Kai, who now creates a sense of belonging for others after once feeling alone, and Grace’s daughter, who found the confidence and connection to thrive. Because of people like you, 85% of young carers are building leadership, advocacy and life skills through Satellite activities.
Thank you for making stories like these possible.
With heartfelt thanks,
Nadine Bartholomeusz-Raymond (she/her)
CEO, Satellite Foundation
As a result of participating in Satellite activities:
85% of young carers demonstrated increased leadership, advocacy and skill development.
After years of carrying caring responsibilities alone – feeling seen, understood and accepted changed everything for Kai. Now they’re helping create those same moments for other young carers. Read the story your support helped make possible.
As a young carer, Grace’s daughter was struggling with anxiety and responsibilities beyond her years. Discover how connection, confidence and your support through Satellite helped her find hope and her voice.
Her storyThe kindness and dedication you show through your ongoing support is helping make real and measurable change – like this – in the lives of children and young people impacted by family mental health challenges. Thank you.
In reality, the number is much higher, as many young people take on caring roles that often go unnoticed or unrecorded.
Your donation today will help these children and young people impacted by family mental health challenges find the connection and support they need to thrive.
YES! I’d like to give a gift to help more young carers today.
