We are here to support young carers aged 8-18yrs. Here are some of the things we offer:

LAFFS groups

• Laughs
• Advice
• Fun
• Friendship
• Support

LAFFS groups are similar to a youth club, and are a chance to  chat, play games and chill out with people who understand what it’s like to be a young carer

Events

Trips and activities are a chance for you to have a break from looking after someone.  It is a time to have some fun!

Find out more about our events for young carers.

One to one support

One to one’s are chance to speak to a worker about any issues you have as a result of being a young carer. Usually involves a cup of tea! We can help you and your family to access services, explain your caring role to school so that they understand the pressures you face, or just listen to you if you need to off load.
