Are you a young carer?

A young carer is someone who looks after another person. Caring for someone might involve things you do every day like cooking and cleaning or you might have to do much more if your loved one can’t do some things themselves. A young carer might look after someone because they’re unwell, have a disability, a mental health issue or struggle with substance misuse.

What might a young carer do?

Practical tasks, such as cooking, housework and shopping
Physical care, such as helping someone out of bed
Emotional support, such as talking to someone who is distressed
Personal care, such as helping someone dress
Collecting prescriptions and helping to give medicine
Helping someone communicate
Looking after brothers and sisters

We'll be organising lots of exciting activities and events - so you can meet new people, make friends and have fun!

How can NEWCIS help you?

Young carers will be able to access a range of help from NEWCIS including:

Meet the team

“Hi, I’m Amy! I am lucky enough to say that I have been working with young carers since 2018, and have been able to share my love of craft, cake and outings with children and young people! Outside of work, life is spent exploring new places, and visiting family and friends.”

“Hi, I’m Katie! I’m here to make sure you’re getting on okay with your caring role, so please give me a shout if you need some help or want to chat! Outside of work, I like eating ALL of the chocolate and going on muddy dog walks.”

“Hi I’m Alice! I am here to support and help our Young Carers Team and you in your caring role. When not in work I enjoy walking, running and Pilates.”
