Carer Support Dorset Young Carers

A young carer is someone aged 18 or under who looks after or helps to look after someone. It might be your mum or dad, grandparent, brother or sister or a close relative. This often means doing things like cooking, cleaning, shopping, giving medication or just talking and helping when the person you care about is feeling sad.

Do some of the examples above sound familiar? We are here to help. We know that looking after someone can take up a lot of time and that sometimes it can be difficult to cope. When you spend a lot of time looking after someone else keeping up with school, friends and doing things that you enjoy can be hard to fit in.

Get in touch with us by email or phone if you need a bit of support or want to talk to someone who understands.
