Services for young carers
Services working with young carers
Barnardo’s runs 20 services across the UK which work to support young carers and their families in a variety of ways:
- Helping the family to find the support they need, and are entitled to, from local services, so that a child’s caring responsibilities can be reduced.
- Supporting young carers to use local services such as sports clubs, support groups, and health centres.
- Providing advice and emotional support through counselling and drop-in sessions
- Liaising with schools so that teachers can better support their students
- Providing opportunities for young carers to take a break from their caring responsibilities, spend time with other young carers and share experiences
- Providing opportunities for young carers to learn more about their parent’s illness or disability
