Wellbeing Sessions

Providing a space for young carers and young people working with mental health professionals.

Our Wellbeing Sessions provide a supportive and friendly environment for young people ages 5-13 years who help care for someones at home or who works with mental health professionals.

The sessions run on a Sunday 1.30pm-2.30pm at City Academy, delivered in partnership with the Norfolk Community Foundation Love Norfolk Fund.

Young carers are children who regularly support someone in their family who is physically or mentally unwell, disabled or living with an addiction. Their responsibilities can range from helping with washing, dressing or taking medicines, as well as tasks such as shopping, cleaning organising finances.

Our Hoopstars Wellbeing Sessions give participants a safe, welcoming space to take time for themselves, have fun and connect with others who share similar experiences. Sessions will feature fun skill development drills and mini games, together will personal development aspects such as teamwork, communication, leadership and resilience.

All sessions are led by trained and experienced coaches, creating an environment where young carers can relax, make new friends and enjoy being active.
