Young Carers Action Day 2026 is on Wednesday, 11th March.
The theme for Young Carers Action Day 2026 is ‘Fair Futures for Young Carers’, a call to ensure every young carer has the same chances to learn, grow and thrive as their peers.
It aims to highlight the support young carers need to reach their potential, from recognition in school and access to training and employment, to meaningful breaks, wellbeing support and opportunities that help them build brighter futures.
Young Carers Action Day is organised and led by Carers Trust, and they encourage as many organisations, communities and individuals as possible to take part in the day by taking action, supporting and raising awareness of young carers.
Young carers face a huge array of challenges as a result of their caring role. Many Carers Trust young carer surveys repeatedly shows many young carers are disadvantaged across multiple aspects of their lives, including mental and physical health, finances, education and employment.
Young Carers Action Day provides an opportunity for everyone to call for better support for young carers and young adult carers, and to bring about change.
