Young Carers often provide a range of caring tasks including but not limited to:
· Practical tasks
· Personal care
· Emotional support
· Sibling care
Our Aim is to reduce the impact of caring through:
· Building capacity and resilience
· Improving well being
· improving educational outcomes
· Reducing inappropriate caring
We achieve this through the provision of services such as:
Peer Support Sessions
Young Carers can access support around their caring role. Sessions delivered at SCC and at local schools encouraging positive resolutions, promotes healthy living and improve the overall wellbeing of Young Carers.
One to One Support sessions
One to one sessions are offered to young people who may benefit from accessing a private forum to speak about issues or feelings about their caring role.
Young Carers Chill & Learn Space
Weekly Chill and Learn space provides access to IT and support with school work in a relaxed environment with other Young Carers.
Regular Events
Young Carer activities include theatre and cinema trips, movie and dessert nights, and creative holiday workshops to give young Carers a break from their caring role.
There's lots of useful YC information on our website, including what it means to be a Young Carer, how to register and how to refer a Young Carer.
