Northamptonshire Young Carers Page The Northamptonshire Young Carers Service supports young people who look after someone in their fami A young carer is aged between 5yrs-17yrs.

They take on responsibility for helping to look after someone (usually a family member) who has a long-term illness or disability. This could include a physical disability, learning disability, mental health problem or substance misuse issue. As a Young Carer you will be helping with chores around the house to keep the house manageable for the person you care for, fetching and carrying. Some of you will be preparing food and drinks, sorting out medication, or looking after younger brothers and sisters. A lot of you will be providing personal and private care for the person you look after. Most of you will be keeping your eyes and ears open to make sure the person you care for is well and safe, keeping them company, spending more time with them than your friends might be with their family members. We know that Young Carers can often feel very different to their friends. You may be embarrassed, upset, and even scared of what might happen if people find out. You may sometimes feel sad, tired, guilty or maybe strong and confident. You may feel as though you are quite alone as it is not always easy to know or meet others in the same situation. The Young Carers Service will assess a family on an individual basis taking into account that the impact of the young person’s role may differ depending on age and other family circumstances. The Young Carers Service offers 1-1 support, social activities, groups, advocacy and family support (such as signposting to relevant agencies).

A massive thank you to Corby Phoenix Rotary for sponsoring two back-to-back Creative at HeART workshops last night, supporting some of our local Corby Northamptonshire Young Carers Page

Young carers give so much of themselves to others at such young ages, so having time to enjoy something creative, spend time together and do something just for themselves really does matter!

We’re so grateful to the club for helping us make these particular sessions possible, and to the amazing Young Carers team as always for their ongoing support and the work they do for these incredible young people. Annie and Jenni were an amazing help on the night - thank you 🙏

From me personally, and Creative at HeART, thanks again Corby Phoenix Rotary Club for supporting something that means so much to so many. Absolute legends!! 🙏💜🎉🎨

PS: We’ll be sharing some lovely captured pics from the sessions soon, so watch this space......
