Dorset charity MYTIME Young Carers wins Hero of the Year Award

Dorset’s MYTIME Young Carers CEO, Krista Sharp, was named the JustGiving Community Hero of the Year in recognition of her outstanding dedication and leadership in supporting young carers across the county of Dorset and beyond.

The prestigious award was presented to Krista at the incredible JustGiving ceremony held at the end of September in London. She was celebrated for her unwavering commitment to making a difference in the lives of young carers and their families.

The JustGiving Community Hero of the Year Awards have been described as “the most inspiring night of the year” led by BBC’s Jamie Laing and Matt Edmondson.

" I am deeply humbled to receive the Just Giving Community Hero of the Year Award and felt even more humbled hearing the stories of all the other nominees and winners. There are so many beautiful humans out there trying to make the world a better place and it was an honour to stand alongside them. I truly have the best job in the world and feel so lucky to work with the best team. This honour also belongs to every young carer who inspires us with their strength and resilience.”
