Meet Sarah & Ezra: Young Carers Balancing Caring and Challenges at School YouTube video by Carers Trust

Great to see Carers Trust sharing this video featuring our recent inspired:arts textiles project at Enfield Carers Centre.

Creative spaces give young carers a chance to connect, express themselves and take a break from responsibility.

The evidence really is compelling. If active engagement in the arts reduces depression, lowers stress and strengthens social connection, it leaves the question: why are we still treating it as a luxury rather than an essential part of life?
