On Young Carers Action Day in March, Carers Trust highlighted the needs of young carers and, together with them, called on government to take action to show their support. Eight months later there has been no response.
Policy makers are not listening. Young carers need that to change. Children and young people with caring responsibilities need urgent action.
Ahead of the publication of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Young and Young Adult Carers Inquiry Report, young carers are writing an open letter to the Prime Minister, asking him to explain what he is going to do to ensure his government responds to their needs.
Young carers and young adult carers have the chance to add their name to this letter before Sunday 12th November. It will then be handed into Number 10 Downing Street by young carers on November 14th!
Young carers, if you are under 16 you will need you parent/guardian to say it’s ok for your name to be on the letter. Any names entered on the letter will not appear publicly – only on the version that goes to the Prime Minister
