Young carers
If you're a young person who helps to look after someone you may be a young carer.
A young carer is a young person aged from 5 to 17 years of age who helps to look after (or ‘care’ for) a family member who has a physical disability, mental illness, or alcohol/drug addiction.
They must reside within a Shropshire Council postcode area.
