Carers Trust is looking to offer an exciting opportunity to Young Adult Carers. Please note this opportunity has not yet been confirmed.
Carers Trust have a close partnership with The Mix, an online charity that provides essential support for under 25s, including counselling and 121 support. The Mix launched The Mix Six podcast last year and have already had podcasts with Jo Wicks and The Amy Winehouse Foundation.
What is involved
- The podcast will be a group conversation covering six questions surrounding life as a young carer covering top tips, common challenges, essential need-to-knows, etc. They are keen that the young people choose the questions themselves and would be keen to have a leaning toward the Young Carers Action Day theme of ‘Give Me a Break’ both in caring role and career opportunities
- This can be done in a small group (3-5 people)
- Young Adult Carers would be leading the conversation and talking amongst themselves about each question (the host would be joining them and guiding them through the recording)
- The podcast would be recorded in London
- All equipment and setup will be done by The Mix
- Carers would receive a voucher
- The podcast can be filmed for YouTube or, if the carers prefer to stay anonymous, it will be a recording
- The Mix have a team that specialise in online content and would ensure comments post recording online would be heavily monitored
- Media training will be offered
- Podcast to be filmed in the summer, ideally sometime in June
