Our History

  • YCDT was established as a charity in 2012 by a small group of Trustees with a vision to improve the life chances of young carers. 73% of young carers take time off school, equating to an average of 10 weeks a year. Our understanding is that there is no other charity attempting to replace the lost education and therefore the future of young carers

Areas of Operation

  • England: Bath and North East Somerset

Beneficiaries

  • Children / Young People

    We support young carers from year 11 to the first year of university or work. They matched to a mentor who offers support, encouragement and advice for the full 4 years and we can provide books, tuition, equipment, visits to universities and more.

Our Vision for a better future

  • We offer young carers 5 years of support starting prior to GCSEs and aim to develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to have the same opportunities as their non caring peers and to see a future beyond their caring roles. Through this we aim to inspire all young people to achieve their goals despite the challenges they face.

Our goals to make a difference

  • To improve the life chances of young carers by supporting their education and well-being

  • To inspire other young people to achieve their goals despite the challenges they face

  • To ensure young carers understand their options for higher education/meaningful employment

  • To raise the self-esteem and support the mental health of young carers
