Young carers

The Knowsley Young Carers
Project works with children and young people up to the age of
18 who look after a sick or disabled parent or relative.
As a young carer, you may have a range of
responsibilities which could affect your health, physical and
emotional wellbeing as well as depriving you of social and
educational opportunities.
How will the project help me?
It recognises that you have individual needs
and rights, which should be taken into account separately from the
person you are caring for.
If you want to find out more about getting
help or just speak to someone for advice and guidance, give us a
call.
