This #YoungCarersActionDay, young carers share how they take a break from their caring role. Popular activities are listening to music & spending time with friends. During school holidays, we @ycherts organise fun events to relax, socialise & build skills. Reach out to learn more

Over 3,200 young carers are part of the @ycherts family! Our Young Carers Service helps them build skills, gain confidence & have the same opportunities as their peers without a caring role. We love hearing feedback on how we've made a difference – like the quote in the image.

🚨 New Video Alert! For #YoungCarersActionDay, some incredible #YoungCarers have opened up about how they take time for themselves away from caring and why it’s important to have a break. Everyone involved: you are AMAZING! youtu.be/TLLow6jnvCg @carerstrust #SelfCareMatters

It's #YoungCarersActionDay & we @CarersinHerts & @ycherts support carers of all ages by providing information & activities to meet other carers, develop skills or have a break from caring – this year’s theme. Get in touch to learn how we can help.
