Project lead Kathy and Club member Joanna initially visited the Young Carer\u2019s Head office in Twigworth. Gloucestershire Young Carers (http:\/\/www.glosyoungcarers.org.uk).<\/p>\n<p>The staff were very enthusiastic and welcomed the Club\u2019s offer to help in specific areas that will be of benefit in raising opportunities for young girls especially. The average age of a young Carer in Gloucestershire is 12yrs. Subsequently a number of members attended a very informative meeting with Jane from Young Carers. They were taken through a Power Point Presentation that informed them about stark details pertaining to Young Carers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>It was agreed that the first area help was needed was to visit GP Surgeries in the Cotswolds to see how much information\u00a0and support was available, through GPs, for Young Carers. Are there referrals from GPs to \u2018Gloucestershire Young Carers\u2019\u00a0provide support for Young Carers? How many GPs are aware of children accompanying an adult to the surgery are actually\u00a0young carers and what needs they themselves may have? Post meeting the Club were advised that, inn the year\u00a001\/10\/2016 to 30\/09\/2017, there was only one referral by a GP surgery in Gloucestershire! There are 16 surgeries in the\u00a0Cotswolds which need visiting and Club members are volunteering to undertake these visits.<\/p>\n<p>Each volunteer member is to be provided with introductory letter from Young Carers to take to Surgeries and they will also complete the Volunteer form and the Data Protection forms are being finalised. It is anticipated that this Project will be\u00a0launched at the January Business meeting<br \/>\nIn addition, the operational key worker for the Cirencester area is also looking forward to discussing the possibility of some Soroptimists mentoring teenage girls who need empowering support. A Trustee from Gloucestershire Young Carers and also an NHS lead who are both interested in the proposed Project will be introduced to the Soroptimists.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone is interested in learning more about this Project, including Members of other Soroptimist Clubs, please contact, in the first place, Publicity Chairman, Barbara Banks in confidence: Barbara@banks31.myzen.co.uk<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It had been agreed, as one of the results of the Club\u2019s research last year,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":840,"featured_media":5197,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Gloucestershire Young Carers | News | Blog | Events | SI Cirencester and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Cirencester and District : Blog &amp; News : Gloucestershire Young Carers : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Cirencester and District .
