Support for young carers - Action for Children

We work with and support young carers across the UK, providing practical and emotional support to ensure they enjoy and achieve, just like their peers.

Young carers aren't going to stop caring. But we can help give them a break to learn and have fun, letting them balance their caring responsibilities with just being a child and growing up.

Our services include:

  • Individual support for young carers on a one-to-one basis (and for parents if required)
  • Needs assessment of young carers and their family
  • Opportunities for young people to meet other young carers
  • Opportunities for young people to join in planned groups and activities
  • Signposting to other services if necessary, for young carers and/or parents
  • Advocacy work
  • Monthly parents' drop in
  • Family outings
  • Outings for young carers
  • Help for young carers to access adult services on turning 18
  • Awareness raising
  • Work with schools
  • Multi-agency working
