Yucan CIC

YUCAN CIC is a lived, experience-led organisation that supports the well-being of young carers and young people with ongoing responsibilities in East London. General business review Yucan is a black woman-founded, lived experience-led organisation that supports the well-being of young carers and youth with ongoing circumstances in and around East London. We support them through school wellbeing programmes, respite opportunities, care packages, public awareness and 1:1 mentoring. Over the financial year to which this report relates, Yucan had multiple activities and programmes, including our Yucan Work Experience programme and our Yucan Respite series. Both projects enabled us to support young children in Newham who had unfortunately not received support with their well-being needs. Through our projects, we helped support their confidence, self-initiative, and awareness moving forward. Some of our young people were able to attend their very first overnight residential, as well as indoor skydiving. Many of our young carers with work experience were also able to progress into university and further jobs through our partners. We remain committed to supporting young carers in our community, and we are confident that our projects will continue to have a positive impact on their lives. We look forward to continuing our work in the coming year and making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people in Newham. No principal risk and uncertainty have been identified in the current financial year that the business is facing.
