Centre 33 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough

If your household is heading for exam season, you're probably living in a blur of highlighters and flashcards. It can be a difficult time for young people, who are juggling the day-to-day demands of revision with pressure around results. Exam stress is normal for young people, but there are ways to manage it - and helping them doesn't have to be complicated. Here are five simple things to keep in mind.👇 👉 Reassure them - make sure they know you will be proud of them no matter the outcome. 👉 Healthy choices - help them stick to a bedtime routine and make sure they have time to wind down before bed. Encourage them to eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of water. 🥗 👉 Talk about exam stress - encourage them to talk about their feelings around exams and remind them that it's normal to feel nervous. 👉 Be flexible - it isn’t always easy, but try to stay calm yourself and be flexible with tasks and chores. 👉 Find a balance - taking a break from revision is important. Encourage them to find time to relax. Our Wellbeing Toolkit has a section on exam stress - it's filled with advice, resources and videos for young people: https://lnkd.in/ecGanG_J And if it's all getting too much for them, we're here. They can find out how and where to contact us on our website: www.centre33.org.uk 🧡

At Centre 33, we know that sharing stories about how we help young people is one of the most important ways of raising awareness of our support. It makes others feel less alone, brings attention to important issues, reminds us to talk about what we’re facing - and to ask for help. 🧡 If you've received our support in the past we'd love to hear from you - however long ago it was. You can share your story however you choose - that might be anonymously, in writing or in a voice note. Showing the impact of what we do makes a huge difference to today's young people.   You can message us or visit https://lnkd.in/e9mqTFTU to find out more. 🔗 #Cambridgeshire #Cambridge #Peterborough #YoungPeople #Charity

At Centre 33, we believe early, flexible mental health support is crucial for young people. We put young people at the centre of their own support - they tell us that makes all the difference. 🧡 When a young person comes to Centre 33, there's no pressure or judgement. They can talk about whatever’s bothering them, in a way they're comfortable with.   To find out more about our work and how you can get involved, visit centre33.org.uk 🔗

“That support made a real difference to me... Having that was ultimately what then did propel me onto university.” 🧡 Brilliant to see young adult carer and Centre 33 volunteer Holly give evidence to the Health and Social Care Committee today around adult social care reform.   Holly reflected on the huge impact of support from our young carers team, the strain of juggling caring and studying and what needs to be in place for young carers and young adult carers as they move through life. A powerful discussion and important watch - you can find it in full at https://lnkd.in/deX7udDT 🔗

We're so pleased to see #Tech4YoungCarers expanded across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. We see first-hand how having a laptop and access to the internet reduces barriers and unlocks new possibilities for young carers and young adult carers. Technology is essential when it comes to keeping up with work and studies and reducing isolation. We're proud to work with the Digital Poverty Alliance on #Tech4YoungCarers to keep young carers connected.

Young carers tell us they need a break. Juggling their caring roles with school, hobbies and friends is not easy - they don’t have time to prepare for their exams, don’t get enough sleep and are often stressed. Having time to themselves is crucial - even a few hours can make a real difference. ⏳ Today is #YoungCarersActionDay, and this year’s theme of Give Me A Break highlights the need for young carers to have time to rest and recharge, and for schools and employers to provide support. New Carers Trust research shows 40% of young carers feel too worried about the person they care for to take a break - they need our support. 🧡 These words from our Young Carers Advisory Board make clear just how important a break is. As well as sharing the impact on their wellbeing, they also listed simple ways that schools can support young carers.

At Centre 33 we proudly operate five early support hubs across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

You can read about our work and that of many other excellent organisations in the Blueprint report below.
