Little Dreamers is Australia’s leading Young Carer, supporting young people aged 4 - 25 who provide care to a family member affected by disability, chronic or mental illness, addiction or frail aged. Little Dreamers does this by providing direct support programs for Young Carers, these include, School Holiday Programs, Tutoring, Mentoring and as personal development program, Big Dreamers. Big Dreamers is a six-month personal development program for Young Carers to learn new skills, connect with other Young Carers and attend impactful workshops and retreats. Six-month program. This year, we have 2 Big Dreamers programs completed, impacting over 30 young people. We conducted over 13 workshops that covered topics such as mental health and wellbeing, time management, values and goal setting. We also held two retreats, allowing the Young Carers to step away from their caring role for 2 nights and head away on a respite camp! Testimonials: “The best part of Big Dreamers was how meaningful and well thought out every workshop was! I loved how nice all the team leaders were and all the other participants are so nice. I never regretted missing things or cancelling things for it because I know that every moment of it will be fun and perfectly timed and planned.” - Dayna, 15 “The Big Dreamers Program was an empowering experience that allowed me to develop a strong sense of identity. Before starting this program, I didn’t realise that I was a young carer. I spent a lot of time looking after my immediate family who all suffer from mental and/or physical health issues, but I didnʼt realise that there was a whole community of people in the same situation. It was a relief to learn about Young Carers because I finally had a label that I could use to describe my home life responsibilities to others.” - Jacqueline, 17 “Little Dreamers and the Big Dreamers program have been an absolute blessing to our family. Thank you so much for the lovely way you have built up our boys, most particularly Patrick, with all he has been through. Thank you for the amazing work you do.” - Parent “An amazing experience, where I got to meet other Young Carers, hang out and learn new skills.” - Rebecca, 18
