Surrey Young Carers

Action for Carers Young Carers service supports young carers aged from 5 to 17 who are providing ongoing care and support for a brother or sister, parent or other family member. They may help by doing physical tasks, like getting someone out of bed, or helping give medication; provide emotional support; or do practical tasks to help the household run, like cleaning, cooking and shopping.

They offer:

• free, impartial information and support to young carers and their families
• free information workshops
• lots of fun activities

This gives young carers time out as well as the chance to meet other young people in similar situations.
