Young carers online survey

Think this might be you? Do you do some of these things?

• Help someone in your family to wash, dress, eat, drink etc.
• Cook meals
• Do the housework
• Do the shopping
• Give emotional support
• Look after brothers or sisters

Sometimes doing the things you find fun or finding time to see friends can be difficult.

Our project is for people like you.

The Young Carers Project will Support you and Advocate for you so that we can:

• talk about your situation
• create a plan that focuses on your needs
• offer you one-to-one support sessions
• help you to access groups and activities that may be available in your own area
• Provide groups for you to meet with other young carers and to explore the issues that affect you. You will build confidence, have fun and learn new ways to handle difficult situations.

Our next group starts on Tuesday 5th June from 5.15pm – 7.15pm at TR2.

Contact us to find out more.

Professionals

Do you work with young people who could be young carers?

We can visit your organisation and run training sessions which last between 10 minutes and 1 hour. We can also come to a staff meeting or have one-to-one meetings with key people. Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We can also send you leaflets and posters to display.
