Andover Young Carers is an independent charity that provides relief to young carers in the area covered by Northern Test Valley and surrounding districts. e.g.

Young carers:

Young carers are first and foremost young people, with all the issues, hopes, dreams, problems, and stresses that all young people have. The term young carer should be taken to include children and young people under 18 who provide regular or on-going care and emotional support to a family member who is physically or mentally ill, disabled or misuses substances. A young carer become

s vulnerable when the level of care giving and responsibility to the person in need of care becomes excessive or inappropriate for that child, risk impacting on his or her emotional, physical well-being or educational achievement and life chances. A child whose father has an alcohol problem and needs help to clean the home, manage bills and cook meals is a young carer. A child who helps their brother with autism as their mother has a physical disability is a young carer. The caring responsibilities might be:

* Personal care - e.g. washing, toileting
* Supporting in the home - e.g. cooking, cleaning, washing
* Responsibilities - e.g. ensuring medication is taken
* Emotional care - e.g. keeping an eye on someone. How can I refer someone to Andover Young Carers?

We recently held our annual Volunteers BBQ to thank all our wonderful volunteers for all their help.

On this occasion we said a fond farewell to one of our volunteers, Elizabeth Grey, as she is moving away from Andover. Elizabeth has been a volunteer with the Primary Groups at AYC since 2014. As well as engaging with the children and helping at After School Clubs, Elizabeth has been a whiz in the kitchen and a very reliable minibus driver. We will miss her contribution a lot.

Thank you so much Elizabeth for everything you have done for us. Our best wishes for the future.
