From sharing messages of encouragement, to helping raise awareness in a myriad of ways, they support our mission to create happy memories and brighter futures for young carers and children aged 5-12 facing challenging circumstances.
We asked some of our supporters to send us a message of support for our 30th Birthday or tell us what they do for 30 minutes that brings them joy - this is what they had to say:
tom holland
Spiderman actor Tom Holland has supported The Honeypot Children’s Charity through his trust - The Brothers Trust.
Honeypot young carers have also been to a special event, hosted by The Brothers Trust, where they had the chance to meet with Tom and he always has words of encouragement for all the young carers we support.
gabi martinelli
Arsenal player Gabriel Martinelli first supported Honeypot in 2021 helping to raise awareness of our work and motivate our children to believe in their dreams.
“I have great memories of my childhood… always playing football, making new friends and being outdoors for most of the time. Unfortunately, many kids never really have the opportunity to experience childhood to the fullest. That’s the case of many young carers here in the UK and anywhere around the world. Due to different circumstances, these kids are forced to take care of some of their relatives from a very young age. That isn’t fair and we should help out these kids. That’s why I’ve started to work with Honeypot, an organisation that provides young carers the opportunity to be children and to build a brighter future.”
Steven Mackintosh
British actor and narrator Steven Mackintosh started supporting Honeypot back in 2018 when he fronted our Carers Week campaign. He has been an ongoing supporter of the charity attending events like the Chelsea Flower Show 2025 and providing quotes of support.
“It’s hard to imagine how tough covid must have been for these young carers, for them to have Honeypot and their incredible projects, the chance to be free and play, create and be children again, to have respite from their daily lives is priceless.”
Dan Snow
Dan Snow is an historian and tv presenter who has supported Honeypot since 2013.
“The Honeypot Children’s Charity and I share the same ethos around helping young carers to reach their full potential. It’s the real and tangible difference that Honeypot makes to these young children that keeps me going and I hope that I can motivate others to get involved with this inspirational charity. I am happy and proud to become an ambassador of the Honeypot Children’s Charity.”
English Footballers Foundation
The England Footballers Foundation supported us from 2015 to 2016, helping to raise awareness of young carers, making special appearances, meeting our young carers, donated match fees and raised funds through their annual Gala Dinner to raise £100,000 for the Honeypot Children’s Charity.
Abbie Brown
Abbie Brown is a rugby player who captained the England Women’s Sevens Rugby team. She started supporting Honeypot in 2017.
“I feel very honoured to support The Honeypot Children’s Charity, and I hope I’ll be able to help the charity raise awareness of their work with young carers. I’m really excited about sharing my values with the charity and helping them on their journey, and spending more time with all the amazing kids!”
