Winter at Young Adult Carers was all about the Christmas spirit! In December, everyone gathered from Paignton to Plymouth to share the joy of the season. This started on 11th of December, when 8 Young Adult Carers attended the Totnes Christmas Market. Full of food stalls, local suppliers and live entertainment, there was something for everyone. One of the young adults that attended said “Despite it being busy, it was a very good atmosphere. The most enjoyable part of the trip was watching the fire throwing artists at the back of the market place.” The fun continued on December 14th at Inn on the Quay in Paignton, where staff and 16 young adults enjoyed a two course Christmas dinner. However, not everyone opted for the traditional Turkey; some had fish and even burgers! The restaurant provided party blowers and crackers on the table, which turned out to be the highlight of the evening, when everyone got into a competition to see who could blow theirs the loudest! We all got to know people that we hadn’t met before, everyone was friendly and merry; the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Sophie Sproston summed up the event in one word, “lovely”. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
