    Busy making new friends, thanks to old ones. Today we visited our old friends at Rayleigh Rochford & District Association for Voluntary Service (who are responsible for the very start of SCAFT's journey supporting young carers), to meet some wonderful new friends from Tube Tech Industrial Ltd, who's energetic team have been busy giving back to the local community, volunteering their time and energy, using their skills to help where they can. Several of their team have survived the experience of being young carers themselves and know just what an impact caring can have on young people, which makes their willingness to give back so much more special. As a result of their generosity we now have a whole heap of new equipment for our young carers respite groups and we look forward to building a strong partnership with them as they look to continue some of their volunteering activities. ...
