Young Carers Support
All the groups below are open to young carers to attend. It is worth phoning the contact number for the group to check the details of the meeting before making a special journey. The support groups are informal, occasionally organise social events and welcome new members. Many young carers value the chance to share their knowledge and experience with other people in similar situations.
If you are a young carer and you cannot find a group to suit you, please contact Nicole van Schie, Carers Development Worker on 01437 771196 or 769422.
