ADULT CARERS

Support for Young Carers

Once a Young Carer has registered with us, they can come along to a support group and meet other children in similar situations and just enjoy themselves by taking part in fun games, arts and crafts, and much more. 

Whenever we can, we take all our Young Carers on trips and outings. Outings in the past have included day trips, (usually in the School holidays), to Legoland, BeWILDerwood, the cinema, bowling, and the Play Barn.
