NEWCIS Young Carers (NYC)
Supporting all young carers in Flintshire
We are delighted to say that NEWCIS will be providing support to Young Carers Service in Flintshire. NEWCIS will now offer a seamless and ageless service for unpaid carers in Flintshire.
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 or mental health issues.
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!
