About The Honeypot Children’s Charity
For almost 30 years, we have been working to enhance the lives of young carers, giving them an opportunity to create happy childhood memories and build brighter futures. We support young carers in England, Wales and Scotland, with an early intervention programme designed to alleviate social isolation, reduce stress and anxiety, build confidence, and reverse educational underachievement. Each year, we aim to offer places to over 3,000 young carers and vulnerable children across the UK through residential breaks, and a wide range of services to meet the changing needs of young carers. We are the only UK charity to provide this consistent, tailored, level of support for young carers in the 5-12 age range.
