Supporting children and young people in their caring roles.

Sandwell Young Carers provides guidance and support to children and young people (aged 5 - 18) whose health, education and social lives have been affected as a result of caring for a dependent family member.

Their aim is to be able to offer guidance and support to young carers, their parents, and professionals whose work life may bring them into contact with young carers, directly or indirectly.

Young Carers provided children and young people with a Positive Activities Package covering: youth and play sessions, short breaks, residential breaks, day trips and holiday schemes.

During the COVID-19 pandemic the Young Carers Forum are meeting
using a virtual platform regularly on Wednesday evenings.
To join or learn more about us, contact Maria 07821 863604 or Rhiannon 07596 746261.
