Young People do Care


Are you a Young Carer? If you are someone who looks after their mum, dad, other relatives or a friend, providing them with the kind of help that is usually given by adults, then you could identify with being a young carer. This might include household chores, providing emotional support, looking after your brothers or sisters, helping someone with their medication and running the home. If you are aged 12-25 and would like to meet with other young carers and find out about what support is available contact Gillian Kirkwood on 0141 941 3308 to find out more.
