A young carer is someone who looks after another person. … A young carer might look after someone because they’re sick, or have a disability or mental health issues. Or, if a parent or family member has an alcohol or drug problem, they may be unable to care for themselves or anyone else.
Young adult carers are young people who care, unpaid, for a family member or friend with an illness or disability, mental health condition or an addiction.
If you are a Young Carer or Young Adult Carer and you like art then you might like to join our support group.
Young Carers meet every Tuesday after school.
The groups start with healthy snacks and refreshments, we then do an art activity. We like to be active and just have a lovely time.
Please contact us for more information or complete the Young Carers Registration form below.
