THERE ARE AN ESTIMATED 700,000 YOUNG CARERS LIVING IN THE UK

CHANGING LIVES – ONE YOUNG CARER AT A TIME

 

Young carers work incredibly hard to take care of their loved ones, yet they represent a largely forgotten community and often face significant disadvantage as a result. We help to change that.

Dan Morris, Head of Programmes tells his young carer story
