Support for young carers

Support for young carers, on health and wellbeing, education and skills, and organisations that can help.

Stronger with Support – Young Carers Matter Campaign

This March, we're celebrating young carers across Buckinghamshire and reminding them they don’t have to cope alone.

Are you a young carer

If you help to look after a member of your family or a friend who has a physical or mental illness, disability, or who takes drugs or alcohol, you are a young carer.

Health, wellbeing and activities for young carers

With the right support, young carers can stay healthy, enjoy their childhood and have the same chances as everyone else.

Benefits and support for young carers

Different types of support can make things a bit easier, like money to help with costs, help to protect your future benefits, and grants for things that could make life bet

Fair Futures for Young Carers’ pledge

Key Children’s Services partners at the Council made meaningful pledges of support for Young Carers, inspired by artwork that powerfully expresses their lived experiences.
