The 2022 event was filled with INCREDIBLE memories, from the fireworks to the silent disco, the duck racing (Alicia’s fav) and the hundreds of inspirational stories we heard over the weekend.
The Children’s Society also announced that finally, after 10 years of campaigning, YOUNG CARERS will be included in the 2023 school census.
