Some young carers help their family to get up, get dressed and washed etc. also do the household chores such as shopping cleaning and cooking.

Do you think you're a young carer? Don't be afraid. We can help!

We have a questionnaire for you that will help you recognise if you are a young carer, answer the questions truthfully, and once you have completed them all submit them to us by clicking send. We will look at your answers and contact you to talk about your answers in more detail.
