Support for Young People
Caring for a family member isn’t always ‘doing something’ to help. The impact of caring for someone can often lead to young people being scared, angry or worried about the person and about what is happening now and what could happen in the future.
We support
Young carers- a young person, who is caring for or emotionally affected by a family member who has a physical or mental illness, disability or misuses drugs or alcohol.
Sibling carers- a young person who is affected by a brother or sister’s disability, illness or additional need.
We have an online space for Young Carers (5-13) and Young Adult Carers (14-25) which includes blogs, tips and information.
Our online space for young carers from the age of 5 to 13. Includes blogs, tips and information.

We welcome registrations for young people aged 5 and up, who are doing more than would usually be expected of a person their age due to the long term condition of a family member
