Children aged between 5 and 12 are bearing the heavy load of caring for a sick or disabled adult or sibling without help and support. This leads to stress, anxiety, social isolation, poor educational performance and a life of deprivation. For too long young carers have been hidden. There are 800,000 young carers in England & Wales, very many of whom are hard to reach. Young carers receive a needs assessment as part of a social services family review. Honeypot meets many of the child's needs.

There are no quick fixes. Honeypot supports a child for up to seven years with a yearly cycle of support which includes:- Respite breaks at our beautiful houses to relieve stress and anxiety. Social and Emotional Active Learning to build resilience and the emotional stability to learn. Digital outreach, to connect children with a counsellor. A welfare fund to meet the essential needs of the child. Digital respite, where children participate in substantial sessions on a range of subjects.
