Help us understand the primary unmet needs of young carers locally

At Suffolk Family Carers we work closely with education providers across the county to ensure young carers are identified and supported. Whilst we successfully retained the Suffolk County Council contract to deliver statutory young carers services, we regularly seek additional grant funding to enhance this offer.

We are currently seeking feedback from education providers, young carers and their families to support an application to the Sizewell C Community Fund.

Please could you take a few minutes to answer the following questions.

Many thanks,
