Carers in Hertfordshire - Young Carers Service
The Young Carers Team at Carers in Hertfordshire supports young carers under the age of 19. Young Carers are defined as someone under the age of 18 who helps look after a family member who is physically or mentally unwell, disabled, or misuses alcohol or drugs and takes on extra responsibilities at home because of this.
We offer whole family support, information and guidance to empower young carers and families as well as through big changes like moving to secondary school. We run activities in the school holidays to give young carers the chance to meet other young carers whilst having some time away from their caring role.
