Young Carers

Are you a young carer aged 18-25?

 

If so, Carers Count would like to hear from you!

 

We want to make sure that carers can have a say about the services and support they can access. We want to make sure that the voices of as many carers as possible are heard when decisions are being made by services, commissioners and funders.

 

At the moment, we don't have many people involved who are aged 18-25. If you have experiences and views you would like to share, please get in touch!

 

You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram: CarersCountKirklees

Local Services for Young Carers

Barnardo's - Kirklees Young Carers Service

The Barnardo's Young Carers service provides assessed support through 1:1 sessions and targeted group work. We also run holiday activities and trips to give young carers a break from caring. We use a ‘whole family’ approach and believe in the strength of multi-agency and partnership working. Barnardo’s in partnership with Carers Count and other organisations also provide a ‘transition’ support service to young adult carers aged 16-25. Find out more about the service from this first-hand interview of a young carer:

 

 

Barnardo's can also help you to understand your rights as a young carer. Please watch this video to find out more:
