Honeypot gives young carers a break from demanding and stressful responsibilities at home and provides a safe, nurturing environment where children at risk can develop their full potential. We believe that every child has the right to make the most of their one chance at childhood, regardless of their circumstances. We enhance the lives of young carers and vulnerable children aged 5-12 years by providing residential respite breaks and on-going outreach support. Without Honeypot, many of these children would have nowhere else to turn.
