Become a Friend of Young Carers
The Young Carers project is delivered by Child Action Northwest, which is a charity promoting the health and well-being of children and young people by providing accessible services that encourage children, young people and their families or carers to make a positive contribution that enables them to stay safe, enjoy and achieve and shape their own futures to reach their full potential.

The work undertaken by the Young Carers project works to support and enhance the lives of young people caring for a mother, father or siblings on top of their own lives.

Often, Young Carers care for someone with a disability or illness including mental health and alcohol or drug misuse.

You could play a major part in helping us to continue the work undertaken by the project by signing up to be a 'Friend of the Young Carers' project. Membership is by way of a donation no matter how small or large your donation it will be gratefully recieved and used to continue the work with Young Carers.
