It’s Young Carers Action Day on 11 March. We want to help raise awareness of young carers across the county. There are around 15,000 young carers living across East Sussex who help look after a family member or friend who is ill, disabled or misuses drugs or alcohol.
Young Carers Action Day is an annual event organised by Carers Trust to raise awareness of the pressures placed on so many young people. This year’s theme is ‘Fair Futures for Young Carers’, a call to ensure every young carer has the same chances to learn, grow and thrive as their peers.
Care for the Carers provides respite youth clubs, outings and activities to support these children and young people. Find out more about our Young Carers Project
