Becoming a carer doesn't always begin with a life-changing event or a sudden shift in responsibilities. It can be a gradual change like picking up a food shop for an elderly parent, helping a partner with their medication or checking in on a friend more regularly who is struggling with their mental health.

We want more people to recognise the valuable role they play in the lives of others, whether they've been caring for years or are only beginning to take on additional responsibilities.

It's about recognising that what you do matters, and that your wellbeing matters too.

If you need help and support, get in touch.

Kate and Angela had a fantastic visit to George Stephenson High School raising awareness of young carers and the important role schools play in supporting them.

During our staff training, staff made personal pledges to help young carers feel seen, heard and supported.

We also spent time listening to a group of young carers, who shared their brilliant ideas for making school a more supportive place — from peer support and drop-in sessions to a young carers noticeboard and a post box for worries.

We're excited to continue supporting the school through our Young Carers in Schools Programme, alongside other schools across North Tyneside.

Thank you to the staff and young people who helped make the visit so meaningful.

North Tyneside is Number 1 in England for dedicated support for young carers in schools!

This amazing news comes from the Children’s Commissioner’s Childhood Lottery report, published this week.

At North Tyneside Carers’ Centre, we know the difference that the right support in school can make to a young carer's wellbeing, confidence and opportunities. This is exactly why we started our Young Carers in Schools programme.

This recognition reflects the commitment of young carers, schools, North Tyneside Council and partner organisations working together to ensure young carers are identified, understood and supported.

A special thank you to the young carers whose voices and experiences continue to shape the support available across our borough.

It's wonderful to see North Tyneside leading the way and showing what can be achieved when young carers are listened to and supported to thrive.

As a carer, we know that your own worries aren’t always at the top of your list. That’s why we’re here – to help make money less of a worry.

We can help you understand, and get, the financial support you’re entitled to.

The benefits system is confusing and complex and we offer free advice on accessing and applying for welfare benefits.

Hundreds of thousands of unpaid carers may be missing out on a key credit that could be worth thousands in retirement.

Carer’s Credit is a type of government credit that can help you fill gaps in your National Insurance record, which can boost your state pension.

But many people are not claiming it.

If you look after a loved one for more than 25 hours a week and receive Carer’s Allowance then you automatically get credits towards your state pension. But if you care for someone for 20 hours a week and don’t receive Carer’s Allowance then you could be missing out.

Over a 20-year retirement, claiming Carer’s Credit could add thousands onto your state pension payments.

If you would like to know more, search Carer’s Credit on gov.uk or get in touch with us.
