Our service supports young carers between the age of 8 - 18years. Young carers are children and young people who have caring responsibilities for a family member who has a long-term illness, a disability, or suffers with mental illness or substance misuse.

Caring has a massive impact on the young carer’s health and wellbeing, social opportunities, and education. As part our service, we offer group activities, trips, wellbeing programmes, and grant opportunities. To ensure our young carers are getting the best out of the service, and that their support needs are meeting met, we complete individual reviews in the middle and at the end of their service. A young carers review takes approx. 30 minutes to complete.  

We are looking for volunteers who are passionate about improving the lives of children and young people, and would be able to spare a few hours a months completing reviews, either via Microsoft Teams or via telephone.
