Independent and confidential support for young carers aged between 8 to 25 years.
Be Free Young Carers offers independent and confidential support for young carers aged between 8 - 25 years who live in South Oxfordshire and Vale White Horse areas.We provide workshops and training to help build confidence and time out from caring by offering a range of fun trips and activities which gives them the opportunity to meet other young carers, socialise and make new friends.There is someone to talk to in confidence and help is available to get extra support at school if necessary.
Why the community needs usOur impact on the communityHere are some quotes from young carers about our work:... 'I think trips are helpful because you get some time away from family. My sister has Asperger's syndrome and autism. I would be happy to do any activity … bowling, or just going to the park' 'It made me more aware of what other people do and what I do' 'I felt like I was away from a lot of stress' 'I now know what to do when my Dad falls over' 'what your charity does for our son helps to relieve pressure across the whole family
