Who is a young carer?

Being a young carer isn’t always obvious—but it matters

A young carer is a child, teenager, or young adult who helps care for a family member at home. That could mean looking after someone with a physical disability, mental health condition, long-term illness, or issues with substance use. Every situation is different, but one thing is the same: young carers often take on big responsibilities at a young age—and they deserve support.

From arts and crafts to day trips, group chats to confidence workshops, our groups are about having fun, feeling safe, and being yourself. These sessions give young carers the chance to meet others who understand, try something new & Have time away from home responsibilities.
