Welcome to the Skye & Lochalsh Young Carers Forum

Our Supporters

There are lots of ways you can support us, through donations, in kind donations and support, through our gift aid supporters club (see the link at the bottom of the page), or simply by registering and using 'everyclick' or 'easysearch' search engines.

http://www.everyclick.com/skyeyoungcarers this search engine works just like any other except that our service gets money everytime you use it and it doesn't cost you anything - please give it a try. 

http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/youngcarersproject this is a shopping portal which includes shops like Debenhams, Ebay, Next and so many more!  Once you register just choose us as your charity and start shopping, a commission is given to Skye and Lochalsh Young Carers - it doesn't cost you a penny more and every penny helps us! 

http://youngcarersproject.easysearch.org.uk this is another charity search engine which works in the same way as 'everyclick' and is linked to the popular yahoo search engine.
