A donation from a firm of estate agents will help keep the members of Romsey Young Carers safe and warm while they are out and about.

Pearsons in Romsey donated £700 worth of sweatshirts to the group, which provides support and respite to young people aged five to 25.

Young Carers manager Tim Ballantyne said: “This is brilliant it will help us keep the group safe when we are out and about and will be very useful when some of our young carers do some fundraising for the project.”

The 52 dark green tops have the group’s logo on the chest and ‘Romsey Young Carers’ printed in large white letters across the back.

Members will be wearing the new sweatshirts tomorrow (Saturday) when they are bag packing at Waitrose to help raise funds for the group.
