Young Carers

Some young people live in a situation where they look after someone in the family who is ill or disabled. You could be doing things like feeding, washing and cooking. This does sometimes mean that the young people themselves miss out on opportunities either in their education, their personal life or in their careers. The same is true of adults who may be looking after elderly relatives or sick children. If this is you, you can get help with this, contact
