Did you know that at least one child in every classroom in England provides unpaid care for a parent, sibling, family member or friend.

Many young carers are hidden from view, and too often they miss out on the same opportunities as their peers.

They deserve support, recognition, and a fair future.

Join us this March

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

Monday 9 to Friday 13 March 2026: A week‑long exhibition of artwork created by young carers, sharing personal stories about what caring means to them.

Wednesday 11 March 2026 - Young Carers Action Day: Join us as we celebrate the vital contribution of young carers and commit to creating Fair Futures for All.

How you can help

If you know a young person who may be caring for someone, please encourage them to reach out. Recognising a young carer is the first step to helping them thrive.
