Young Carers Go Live on Magic Radio 🎙️

A heartwarming studio visit made possible by Cash for Kids 💛

🎙️✨ Exciting news!

On Wednesday, three incredible young carers had the amazing opportunity to join Magic Radio live from their London studio for a very special set of interviews — all thanks to our wonderful friends at Cash for Kids 💛

We’re so proud of Jess and Andrew for bravely sharing their experiences as young carers on air. They spoke from the heart, and we know their words will inspire so many others.

The Cash for Kids team couldn’t have been more welcoming — we even got a behind-the-scenes tour of the studios! 🎧

Stay tuned — the interviews will be published soon!

Young Carers Join #ProtestFromHome

Calling for proper support, recognition, and the right to a break for unpaid carers.

🧡 Our amazing Young Carers have joined the #ProtestFromHome campaign — and we stand proudly beside them.
 
At some point in our lives, almost all of us will care for someone we love, or need care ourselves. When that time comes, we should live in a country that makes it easier, not harder, to care.
 
Right now, an estimated 6 million unpaid carers in the UK — family, friends, neighbours — are supporting loved ones without pay, often around the clock, and with little to no support.
 
They don’t get time off. They rarely get a break. And too many are being pushed to the brink, physically, mentally, and financially.
 
Nearly half of unpaid carers get less than an hour to themselves each day — and they have no legal right to a break.
 
This needs to change. Let’s stand together and call for proper recognition and support.
