We are the only organisation in the borough with a team dedicated to supporting the needs of young carers (aged 5-18) and as such have a wealth of experience and expertise in issues which affect their lives.
We provide:
information and advice, including 1-to-1 support
opportunities to meet other young carers
fun activities, outings and breaks away from home
regular drop ins
awareness raising of the needs of young carers, particularly in schools
advocacy and whole family support
quarterly newsletter
We work hard to offer young carers opportunities to access information, advice, support and a break from caring in a safe and positive environment outside of the home (visit our how we can help page for more information). To do this, we rely solely on funding from outside the organisation. If you would like to get involved in helping us to continue with our work visit our support us page!
