Newcastle Carers: support for young adult carers
Are you aged 18-25 and looking after someone who needs help and support?
If you are caring for someone who cannot manage without your support and you're not employed to do this, then you are a young adult carer. Anyone can become a carer at any point in their life. We're here to listen and support you.
Newcastle Carers is an independent charity supporting adults, children, and young people who look after someone living in Newcastle upon Tyne. Our services are free, confidential and non-judgemental, helping carers find ways to make their caring situation easier to manage.
Young adult carers often face additional challenges because of their age and circumstances. We offer dedicated support for young adults with caring responsibilities. This support includes a specialist Young Adult Carer Worker who delivers personalised services to cater to the needs of young adults with caring responsibilities. Through one-on-one appointments, groups and outings, we offer information, advice, support, and opportunities for young adult carers to connect with others.
The animations below show young adults with caring responsibilities:
