Young Carers Action Day, 11th March

Today we’re helping to raise awareness for Young Carers Action Day, recognising the many young people who help care for a family member or loved one.

Young carers often balance school, friendships and their own wellbeing alongside their caring responsibilities, which can bring unique challenges. It’s important that young carers are recognised and able to access the right support to help them thrive and reach their full potential.

If you know a young person who helps care for someone, support and information are available:
