Emberly, an 11-year-old carer for her mum, Jen, won Young Hero Award at the 麻豆社 Radio Solent Make a Difference Awards 2025 in recognition of her fundraising, as well as her work as a young carer. Emberly, from Poole, Dorset, has been looking after her mum since she fell six years ago, resulting in a debilitating head injury and stroke. Since then, as well as helping around the house, she has been dancing, swimming and cycling to fundraise for Dorset charity My Time Young carers, which supports young carers across the UK.
