Young carers from Mansfield turn adrenalin junkies with paintballing trip
Young carers from Mansfield were able to put their home life to one side with a special trip out.
As part of the monthly activities provided by the Nottinghamshire Carers Hub, 24 young carers from across Mansfield and Newark & Sherwood enjoyed a trip paintballing at Adrenalin Jungle, between Bilsthorpe and Kingss Clipstone in Sherwood Forest.
Zena Cameron, a support worker with the hub, said: “Paintballing had been a long requested activity and it was thanks in part to local charities who had donated funds to our Young Carers which enabled the activity to happen; thank you so much.”
She said the 24 young carers were split into two teams ‘in an all-out battle’.
"There lots of laughs and paint stains and two hours later, the blues were crowned the winners.”
Young carers aged seven-17 interested in accessing the service are asked to contact Zena on 07710 087648, or at [email protected]
