🤝 Caring can sometimes mean missing out on clubs, activities or time with friends.

Many carers struggle to take part in community activities because of their caring responsibilities.

That's why young carers groups matter — giving young people a chance to connect, have fun and know they're not alone.

11/06/2026

According to Week only 46% of young carers leave school with five GCSEs, compared to 60-65% of young people without caring responsibilities.

We believe that all young carers should have the same opportunities to thrive in education. That's why we work with local schools and professionals to ensure young carers are supported.

09/06/2026

According to a new report from Carers Week 44% of carers do not feel their role is understood and valued by their community. ⚠️

We work with schools to ensure that local communities understand the challenges carers face and that young carers receive the support they are entitled to.

This year Carers Week is all about building carer friendly communities.

Carer friendly communities are places, spaces, services and community groups where unpaid carers are recognised, understood, and valued. They make support part of everyday life ensuring carers get the opportunities and help they need.

Together we’re building carer friendly communities that support carers in every area of their lives.

Yesterday we were at Hellesdon High School in Norwich highlighting the support we offer to young carers in Norfolk as part of Young Carers Action Day 2026...

Thank you very much for hosting this event and allowing us to showcase what we offer!

We're proud to support Young Carers Action Day!

This year focuses on 'Fair Futures for Young Carers'.

Combining caring with other responsibilities can be very overwhelming, but we believe that every young carer deserves to have the same opportunities for growth as their peers.

Today, our colleagues from The Benjamin Foundation are at College and you can also meet our team at Hellesdon High. 🤗
