On Wednesday 12 March St Cenydd welcomed Helen Jones and Rebecca Forward, carer support workers from Caerphilly County Borough Council, to help raise the profile of the support available for our young carers within school.

This year's theme ‘Give me a break’ was delivered in assemblies across the week by a number of pupils and carers along with Miss Cath Allaway, who coordinates and supports the Young Carers group at St Cenydd. The message from the pupils was delivered confidently and clearly and it is hoped that more young carers make themself known to the school so that they, and their families, can receive the support that they deserve.
