Young Adult Carers

We provide support for young adult carers between the ages of 16 to 25 years.

Our objectives:

• Specialist and tailored 1:1 casework support focusing on the young adult carers’ unique caring roles, responsibilities, and how to manage these whilst pursuing their aspirations.
• Life skills training focusing on integral areas of adult life such as budget management, first aid, and independent living.
• Reducing social isolation through connecting young adult carers and increasing their confidence via peer support opportunities.
• Awareness raising sessions across the sectors including employers, training providers, educational establishments, and statutory organisations
