Does your child help look after someone at home who is ill, or has a mental or physical disability? They may do things like:

💚 Practical tasks, such as cooking, housework, shopping and family budgeting
💚 Emotional support, such as talking to someone who is distressed
💚 Personal care, such as helping someone out of bed with a hoist and to help them to dress
💚 Helping with siblings
💚 Helping to give medicine, collecting prescriptions

If so, they are a young carer.

Shropshire Young Carers offer support to young carers in Shropshire, through groups, fun activities and one to one support.

They give children a break from caring responsibilities and the chance to meet other young carers.
