Day 2 of #YCAD began with an inspiring outside Scottish Parliament, where young carers gathered to share their voices! They were joined by First Minister John Swinney and Minister for Public Health & Women’s Health, Maree Todd in a show of support. #YoungCarers Scottish Government #GeezaBreak

What a fantastic morning! Young Carers raising their voices and being listened to! #GiveMeABreak #YoungCarersActionDay Carers Trust Scotland John Swinney Maree Todd

Smiles, solidarity and strength! Our incredible young carers coming together to celebrate #YCAD. Their voices matter, and today, they’re making sure they’re heard! #YoungCarers #ScotParl Carers Gateway South Ayrshire #GeezaBreak

I met with a number of kids involved with Carers Gateway South Ayrshire on #YoungCarersActionDay. Many are responsible for significant hours of care every single day without a break and limited support. We must do more to help them.

So proud of our young people today for showing up in their numbers at Scottish Parliament! Happy #ycad2025
