On Wednesday 23rd February 2011 the Interagency strategy for young carers in Surrey was launched.
The launch took place at the Surrey Young Carers fun day with over 130 young carers, aged 8 to 18, present. Surrey County Council cabinet member for Children and Families, Mary Angel, spoke to the young carers and health and social care professionals at the launch
“It was a fabulous event, which recognises and celebrates young carers in Surrey. By having some time to themselves to meet with other young people in similar situations really highlights that they are not alone in their caring role. We hope today that friendships were made and lots of fun was had by all those who attended. ." Michelle Harper, Surrey Young Carers Manager
