HOW WE SUPPORT YOUNG CARERS
At MYTIME, we recognise that as a young carer, you will have developed an amazing set of skills that will help you throughout your lifetime
We are simply here to make sure that you get the support and the opportunities that all children need and deserve, and that will allow you to thrive and lead happy, healthy lives.
We provide:
Opportunities to unwind, experience new things and meet other young carers on our activity days
Fun breaks away at our R & R Retreat Centre on the Jurassic Coast
An online youth group where you can come together with other young carers
Support to your school so that they can better support you
An Employability Programme to help you find your way into further education, training or work
