Southwark Young Carers and Youth Conference
The Southwark Young Carers and Youth Conference was held on 23 February 2013 at Camberwell Leisure Centre. Over 300 young people attended and there was a showcase of talent and an opportunity for young carers to share ideas and experiences. The Youth Service has since undertaken to hold a borough-wide conference next year. The chair praised the work of all those involved and said the benefits to neighbouring youth groups had been very positive.
