This year to mark Young Carers Action Day, Young carers from all over Ireland travelled to Trinity College Dublin to discuss their views on 'Fair Futures for Young Carers'. were hosted by Trinity College Students' Union and .studentcarerofficer and young carers heard real life experiences from Sean and Ellen who had managed to balance caring and studying, and also heard about the wonderful student supports available in Trinity College and the alternative access routes for young carers. Young Carers also highlighted changes they would like to see in their schools and what a typical day in their lives as young carers looks like .
Thanks so much to everyone who joined us to mark this very important day .
