Bring Me Sunshine Activity Packs

Bring Me Sunshine was written for children aged 10 – 14, and gives an insight into the issue of children acting as carers for a family member. A recent survey estimated that there may be as many as 700,000 young carers in the UK, with an average age of 12. (Source)

Sometimes, as with Daisy and Sam, children don’t realise they are young carers, and just carry on doing what needs to be done.
