Kool Carers provides a safe, professional and comfortable environment for young carers in Basildon (aged 8 ' 18 years) to develop personal and social relationships. The organisation aims to support young carers to improve their independent life-skills and build their resilience, while helping to reduce isolation and enhance emotional wellbeing. The group will use funding to cover staff salaries, sessional counsellors and support workers, training, trips and other general running costs.
