Young adult carers are people age 16 to 25 who live with or care for a family member or friend with long term mental illness, physical illness or disability. Often, when a young person is looking after a parent, they have to take responsibility for younger brothers and sisters too.

What we offer:

• A weekly social group for carers to meet, make friends and have a break
• Monthly day trips and outings
• Targeted one to one support for specific issues such as: Employment, education and training Housing Mental health / Emotional support Welfare benefits
