What support is there for young carers in Shropshire?

The Shropshire Young Carers service holds monthly young carer groups across the county and hosts various activities during school holidays. We aim for the young carers to have fun, do crafts and games, but also relax with other young people who will relate to their own situation. Our focus is respite and support for young carers.

Our staff are friendly and understand the issues young carers face. We want to be someone they can talk to about how they're feeling.

If you know anyone who thinks they may be a young carer, they can contact Shropshire Council for help and support. To find out more call 01743 341995 during office hours. School staff, youth groups or any other service that works with children and young people can ring this number too.
