Beach and Fun week young carers

Also this summer, together with Toms Beach & Surf and others, we are organising Beach & Fun week for young carers. During the week from 6 to 10 July, a varied programme full of water sports, games and relaxation is waiting for them.

During this week, 24 children can let go of everything for a while. Among other things, they will go surfing, supping and canoeing, and participate in fun games on and around the beach. No worries for a while, but above all having fun and gaining new energy. The programme is daily from 9.30am to 2.30pm.

Who is this week for?

This week is aimed at children aged 8 to 16 growing up with a family member with a chronic illness, disability, addiction or mental illness. For them, it is not always natural to be a carefree child. During this week, we offer them that space.

'Having fun for a week, being together with peers who understand you and not having to worry for a while is what makes this week so valuable,'says young carers' consultant Liesbeth Krouwel.

Sign up

Is your child a young carer, attends regular education and has a swimming certificate? Then this week might be just what he or she needs.
