Young Carers

While everyone is different, lots of young carers have similar experiences and feelings. Sometimes it helps to know that there are other young carers out there who may think and feel the same way you do.
In fact, there are thousands and thousands of young carers across the country (some people think it could be as many as 50,000).Lots of young carers feel good about what they do, but it can be tough too.
Maybe you worry a lot about the person you care for? Perhaps you find it hard to join in things or spend time with your friends, because of the things you do at home?

Sometimes it might be hard to concentrate at school, or you may find it hard to do your work because you are tired?  
You might also feel different to others your age, and be worried about getting picked on? You may be scared of telling people what you do and how you feel?  Maybe you think people won't understand or will interfere?

Does any of this sound familiar?

Well there is a group in the Bay called the
‘Torbay young carer’s project’
They can help you with every problem you may have and they can also help you get out and have some fun!
