🎾 Caring for someone can also mean having less time for hobbies, friendships and themselves. Through our inspired programme, we give young carers the chance to step away from their responsibilities, explore their creativity and connect with other young people.

It can mean helping around the home, looking after siblings, providing emotional support or checking that someone they love is okay. And for some young people, these responsibilities are such a normal part of life that they may not think of themselves as a “young carer” at all.

❤️ A young carer is someone under 18 who helps look after a family member or friend who needs support because of illness, disability, a mental health condition or substance misuse. But caring doesn't look the same for every young person.
