One young carer shared the stress of being refused a bus while needing to get home to urgent caring duties.
This is shaping the Young Carer ID Card — because getting home safely isn’t a privilege, it’s essential.

One young carer spoke about feeling sad, having no free time, and being late for school because of caring duties — then getting into trouble for it. Their experiences are shaping the Young Carer ID Card because care should be met with compassion, not punishment.

On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the millions lost.
This image of abandoned briefcases—taken from victims before deportation—shows how unchecked power and silence lead to corruption and human tragedy on an unimaginable scale.

Listening is a skill, not a passive act.
It means staying open-minded, respecting contrary views, and being willing to change your stance.
In a polarised world, listening isn’t weakness — it’s how humanity moves forward together.

Over the coming weeks, TCC will share updates on our Accountability Programme for the Senedd election. This week we begin listening sessions with XR Wrexham and St Mary’s Cathedral, Wrexham.
