The Anchor Project Expression of Interest

The Anchor Project Expression of Interest
The Anchor Project is Little Dreamers newest program which is designed especially for Young Carers aged 12–18 from diverse communities, including CALD, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and LGBTIQA+/gender diverse young people.

If life feels a little overwhelming or disconnected at times, this is your space to reset, recharge, and reconnect. Through fun group activities, hands-on workshops, wellbeing activities and real talk with people who get it, you’ll build confidence, learn practical coping skills, and form meaningful friendships along the way.

Running across Victoria (St Kilda), New South Wales (Newcastle/Sydney) and Queensland (Brisbane), The Anchor Project is all about helping you feel grounded, supported, and ready to navigate whatever comes next.

Connect with other Young Carers once a month either in person or online (Pending on your location) on a Friday. Times are TBC, however we do request your commitment to a Friday once a month- Details to be advised.
