Young Carers

Caring Together also has a Young Carers section.

A young carer is a young person, under the age of 18, who has a caring responsibility.  This is usually for a family member who has a disability, long-term illness, mental illness (including depression, anxieties or drug/alcohol substance misuse).

They support young carers across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Norfolk.  They offer a range of support e.g. carer breaks, a specialist carer helpline, and help with planning ahead.
