Young Carers Service

Who is a young carer? A young carer is someone under 18 who helps look after someone in their family, or a friend, who is ill, disabled, has mental health issues or misuses drugs or alcohol.

We can help by giving you:

• Time away from caring responsibilities
• The chance to meet other young carers
• Take part in peer support and skills based activities
• Go on day trips
• Support in school and with homework
• Learn new skills
• Someone to listen and a place to talk
• Information and funding
