Swindon Young Carers - A young carer looks after someone who is ill, has a disability, or has mental health issues. Or, if a parent or family member has an alcohol or drug problem, they may be unable to care for themselves or anyone else. A young carer looks after someone within their family home; a parent, sibling, or other family member. Caring for someone may involve physically supporting someone with daily tasks, such as dressing, cooking, and cleaning if your family member cannot do these things themselves. You may also offer regular emotional care, such as comforting, listening and talking to the person you care for, which causes you stress, worry, or anxiety. The Young Carer team supports children aged 5 years and up.
