We are the national young carers’ charity. Our countryside respite breaks and range of support services give young carers, with responsibilities beyond their years, the chance to be a child again. Because you only get one chance of a happy, fulfilling childhood.

Our driving goal is to enable young people to unlock their limitless potential.

Panathlon is a national charity which gives young people with disabilities and special educational needs every year the opportunity to take part in competitive sport. In 2021/22, a record 52,746 pupils participated in our events - either external competitions with other schools or in-school through our Virtual Programme (launched in September 2020 in response to the pandemic).
