Some 21 young carers aged six to 11, who normally spend their days caring for family, took part in a range of activities including pond dipping and art and crafts. Paul Myles, from Burgess Hill Youth, said: “It was great to see another good initiative come to fruition creating a most enjoyable fun day for young carers whilst embracing a multi-agency team spirit.”
