Helping young people who look after someone
Join The Carers' Centre!
If you look after someone, we are here for you. Being a part of The Carers’ Centre means you will be able to go on fun days out, meet other young people who understand what you’re going through and be able to access helpful advice.
Just ask your parent or guardian to sign you up.
A young carer is a young person, aged 5 - 17, who helps look after their mum, dad, brother, sister, someone else in their family, or even a friend that needs extra help. The person they help care for may need support due to old age, illness, disability, mental health problems or an addiction. Looking after someone is a pretty amazing thing to do, but it can also be a lot to take on.
Why we're here
We help young carers stay happy and healthy in their caring role. We’re a local charity that provides advice, emotional support and assessments to ensure they are fully supported. We also offer a range free activities to help young carers take a break, and meet other children who understand.
Services we provide
We offer a wide range of free services for young carers who are looking after someone. Our services are here to ensure young carers stay well, in control and connected to others in the same position.
