At the Carers Trust Tyne and Wear, we believe that being a young carer shouldn't prevent them from having time to themselves, making friends, being happy and healthy and having fun.
The support that young carers give to their families is incredible. Our team believes that young carers should have the same opportunities as any other young person, who doesn't have a caring role.
Our team understand that being a young carer can sometimes be hard and we are here to support them. Once the young carer is registered, our team provide a range of services including breaks, social activities, educational support and programmes to promote health and wellbeing.
Please note that we only work with young carers aged 5-17, who live with the person they care for in the borough of Gateshead.
