On a breezy December morning, 2 Barnet goodgymmers Fay and Fiona bustled over to Barnet FC's ground the Hive to help support the Honeypot Charity.
The Honeypot is a fabulous organisation that supports children between 5-12 who are young carers and have to support people in their household. The children are sent to respite camps in the New Forest and Wales where they are able to take a break from their homes and make friends and have fun times.
When arriving at the Football club we were sent to the away stand to shake buckets as the fsns were arriving. Much to Fays excitement it was Stockport FC so she was surrounded by Northerners! The atmosphere was great and the fans were super generous!
It was a fun festive afternoon amd hopefully we raised a fair bit for a great cause!
Oh, and Barnet won 1-0!
We have helped and continue to work with thousands of children from across the UK. Most of these children are young carers who juggle their education alongside performing a surrogate adult role at home. Many care for a chronically or terminally ill loved one, or have a parent with drug, alcohol or mental health problems. Some will have been in a caring role from as young as 5 years old, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
