Children In Need with Jonathan Lampon

Josh and Edward, are two inspiring very special guys who get up for work every morning at 7am and go to bed around midnight.

Josh and Edward are 14-years-old. They're young carers, who look after their Mums.

Josh started off by telling me what his day was like:
