"Care for the Carers aims to improve the quality of carers lives by helping the local community recognise and value the role of carers, and by enabling carers to access the services & support they require."

Young Carers


Are you a young person aged between 8-19 years and caring for someone at home? If you are, then the Young Carers Service can help.

About the Young Carers' Service


The Young Carers Service runs clubs across East Sussex. The clubs can provide you with the opportunity to have fun, and make new friends in a safe and supportive environment.

1-2-1 support is available if you are involved in substantial care and are perhaps struggling to cope. A support worker will work with you to identify areas of your life that you need help with.

Support can include:

The Service also offers trips, activities and residential short breaks, where funding allows. Past events have included bowling, swimming, picnics, laserquest, residential at Bowles Activity Centre and the Young Carers Festival in Southampton.
