What is this service?

Young carers are people under 18 who have some responsibility for taking care of someone else. This could be a friend or family member. Often, it’s someone with a disability. 

Being a carer can come with some stress. It’s important for young carers to be able to have fun, make friends and talk about their experiences. 

What we offer:

  • Group sessions: where young people can meet fellow siblings and young carers and share their experiences.

  • One to one peer sessions: where young people can share their experiences and interests with a fellow sibling or young carer.
