Carers Trust definition:
A young carer is someone aged under 18 who cares for a friend or family member who, due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction, cannot cope without their support. Older young carers are also known as young adult carers, and they may have different support needs to younger carers.

If you are a young carer living in Bradford, Harrogate, Selby or Craven districts, (or if you know someone who is), then we are here to help.

Some young carers do lots of physical tasks to help, such as cooking and cleaning or helping someone take medicines or get washed. Some young carers don’t do any of these things but they do spend a lot of time worrying about someone, staying at home to be with them etc.

We provide a range of support to help young carers, including fun trips and activities in school holidays, youth clubs and one-to-one support. The service is designed to support young carers’ well-being and resilience, to help them achieve their potential as successful, happy adults.
