Providing Life Changing Support to Young Carers
Young carers who are providing a ‘significant level of care’ for a disabled or seriously ill family member. Aged 15-19.
Further reach through events/webinars
Young carers start with us as they enter Year 11, prior to GCSEs, through to the end of the first year of post formal education. Each young carer is matched to a volunteer mentor who offers sustained support, encouragement and advice for the whole 4 years. Alongside this our provision can include books, tuition, equipment (such as laptops), visits to universities and work experience. Our young carers are then supported to become leaders and role models for those in similar circumstances.
12 young carers directly, many more through events/webinars
