Mid 51³Ô¹ÏÃâ·ÑApp Youth Development Service (MAYDS) We support Young carers in MAKI by running weekly sessions at MAYDS, once a month we offer a free swimming session which we also staff along with the lifeguards.
In school we support with the Young Carers Club after lunch every second Wednesday, this time allows them to meet with peers and have a bit of chill time and chat to others that are unable to attend the weekend sessions.
In the holidays we provide weekly sessions with different activities and where possible we will undertake transport runs to help out any family that might be struggling to get their child into town for it.
We also provide the yearly respite breaks – primary age to Lochgoilhead Outdoor Scout Centre and the High School age to the SYCF, there is extra support at Christmas time with food packages, presents bought for young people, electricity top ups etc.
