Some of our Young Adult Carers took up the offer of a sail and boat trip on the River Dart during Carers Week and we couldn’t have picked a better day!
We were picked up from various locations around Torbay it then it was a short ride to Galmpton Creek, where we were met by the volunteers from Dart Sailabilty – including three of our very own young adult carers who have become volunteers for the charity. We were all given the opportunity to sail, or steer, one of the three craft, an amazing opportunity to experience life on the water. We headed to a small beach where young adult carers collected driftwood to make a fire and we all enjoyed time wandering along the beach chatting, whilst waiting for our hot dogs to cook which were locally sourced and delicious.
We feel this was a chance for some to spend time away from the hussle and bustle of their daily routine and have time chilling with their peers, whilst making new friends and just having a good time.
