The motion goes on to thank all of the staff and volunteers and wish them the best for the next 25 years and beyond.
Harvey Carruthers, CEO of Fife Young Carers, commented: “Fife Young Carers are a wonderful, mutually supportive team whose mission is to help Fife’s most vulnerable young people. For every £1 invested in our services we provide £4 of care – a fantastic social return on investment which brings immeasurable benefit to thousands of young carers aged from five to 25 years old. This parliamentary motion is a fantastic boost to our young carers and the team.”
