Eleven young carers groups currently operate across the county. To find out about the groups click on the map - or contact the Gloucestershire Young Carers Office. Here's answers to some common questions about young carers. |
What young carers are saying:
| "Being
introduced to the Gloucestershire Young Carers has made
such a difference in getting to know other people who are in the
same position as ourselves, helping us feel more recognised and
supported." |
"The trips and group meetings not only give us a break, but a chance to take part in activities and opportunities that we have never tried before." |
"Throughout
the year several of us have been involved in speaking out about
young carers and getting our message out to the media, we have
even challenged Members of Parliament and the House of Lords to
sit up and take notice!" |
