The Honeypot Children’s Charity provides tailored support for young carers and children aged 5-12 facing difficult circumstances, including caring responsibilities, loss, instability or other significant challenges. The children we support benefit from time away from daily responsibilities and stress, giving them the opportunity to relax, build friendships and simply be children.
Our three Honeypot houses in England, Scotland and Wales provide Respite Breaks, Health & Wellbeing Breaks, and ongoing wraparound support. These early intervention services help children build confidence, resilience and joy at a crucial stage in their lives, creating happy childhood memories and building brighter futures regardless of the barriers they face.
Supporting children through challenging times
Jack
Jack is a young carer whose mum has serious health conditions. He supports her in ways most children never have to think about: cooking, cleaning, help with getting dressed and taking medication. Regular breaks at Honeypot give Jack respite from the stress of his caring role and restore his energy.
Taylor & Amy
Taylor and his sister Amy are currently living with their mum in a family refuge, waiting for a permanent home where they can feel safe and settled. Residential breaks at Honeypot and special days out have given them space away from this unfamiliar and stressful environment.
Gemma
Gemma joined Honeypot for a Health & Wellbeing Break after being referred through her school. At school, Gemma sometimes finds English and spelling challenging, which can affect her confidence in speaking up in class or working with others. The learning break gave Gemma more self assurance.
