The Honeypot Children's Charity
We support young carers, an often-overlooked group of vulnerable children who perform a surrogate adult role as a carer for a loved one from as young as five years old. We also support children with ACEs.

The Honeypot Children’s Charity is dedicated to supporting young carers aged 5-12 with residential breaks and wraparound support. Young carers perform a surrogate adult role as a carer for a loved one at home, having to take on responsibilities beyond their years. They often miss out on learning new skills, trying new things, feeling a sense of achievement, and making friends. We give them the opportunity to make happy childhood memories and build brighter futures.
This represents all face-to-face interactions with children.
