WE'RE HERE FOR YOU

OUR GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT NO YOUNG CARER'S DESTINY IS DEFINED BY THEIR BEGINNING

 

MYTIME Young Carers is a charity that supports young carers aged between 5 and 25. Our mission is to level the playing field for all young carers, by providing them with the support, friendship and opportunities that every child needs and deserves.

“I love getting out of the house and doing activities with friends at MYTIME. It's nice to take my mind off things.”

~ Sami, aged 7

“I had a fab time with MYTIME. I was so engaged that I didn’t worry about my mum or dad. It was good for me.”

~ Daniel, aged 16

“Being a young carer sometimes makes me feel frustrated because everything’s on me. I’m quick to get angry and I think that’s why. Days like today with MYTIME help me to relax.”

~ Amira, aged 9

“Sometimes people don’t understand what young carers do and they judge us. That’s when we get bullied. But at MYTIME, everyone understands.”
