They will be hob nobbing with stars such as David Beckham, Spice Girls and Anthony Joshua. Sharandeep will also meet The Prime Minister Boris Johnson at a pre-awards reception.
Sharandeep cares for her grandparents and has also dedicated any spare time she has to helping to feed Coventryโs homeless, using her own money to buy and prepare food.
She was nominated for the Young Hero award by Mark Graham, Young Carers Wellbeing Team Leader
Who said: โYoung carers have huge responsibilities and a lot of them donโt even think about themselves much
โSharandeep acts as her grandmotherโs eyes and helps her out with so much. When she started accessing our Young Carer services it hadnโt even really occurred to her to think of herself as a young carer.
โSheโs brilliant though, not only is she incredibly helpful and kind, sheโs really generous with the other young people who come along.โ
Shy Sharandeep admitted she was shocked to hear about her nomination.
She said: โI couldnโt believe it when I heard. Markโs amazing and helps so many young carers, the groups he runs give young people a chance to be themselves for a while and not think about the responsibilities they have at home.
The awards ceremony will be shown on Channel 4 ( date to be confirmed)
