EXCITING FUN DAY OUT FOR YOUNG CARERS

We were lucky enough at the end of May to have near perfect weather for an exciting fun day out at the Christian Youth Enterprises (CYE) activities centre at Cobnor, Bosham. Southbourne Lions were able to provide the funding through generous donations from our community to give 14 of these deserving young people a chance to spend time with their peers and try new and exciting activities.

In the morning the wonderful staff at CYE provided training, safety equipment and a safe environment for the young carers to try their hand at archery, but of an unconventional kind, where the arrows are tipped with a large piece of thick foam. Two teams then fought by firing at each other from a distance and had a brilliant time!

Picnic lunch was enjoyed on the CYE’s moored boat along the Bosham channel.

After donning waterproofs and lifejackets, amid much excitement, the group took off for the afternoon with sailing instructors in two long boats. One of the Young Carers commented that he felt so lucky to be able to have a go at archery and sailing!
