Young carers

Thousands of children across the country are forced to grow up early and miss out on vital educational and recreational opportunities because they care for disabled or chronically ill adults or younger siblings. For them, childhood can be truly lost.

We help by working with these young carers to give them a break from their responsibilities.

And our Include Project has continued to influence policy and practice to improve recognition of young carers.
