We are a Charity Incorporated Organisation (CIO) set up to support young carers aged 8 to 17 who live in the Winchester District.

Our Vision

We believe young carers are children first and should be free to develop emotionally and take full advantage of opportunities for educational achievement and life success.

Our Mission

To improve the lives of children and young people with caring responsibilities by providing safe, quality support to individuals and offering a holistic approach to the whole family.

What skills do I need?

We are looking for people who can:

• Be committed to the purpose, objects and values of the organisation.
• Be constructive about other trustees’ opinions in discussions, and in response to staff members’ contributions at meetings.
• Be able to act reasonably and responsibly when undertaking such duties and performing tasks.
• Be able to maintain confidentiality on sensitive and confidential information.
• Be supportive of the values (and ethics) of the organisation.
• Understand the importance and purpose of meetings, and be committed to preparing for them adequately and attending them regularly.
• Be able to analyse information and, when necessary, challenge constructively.
• Be able to make collective decisions and stand by them.
• Be able to respect boundaries between executive (staff or day to day) and governance function.
