About this service
Growing up with caring responsibilities can be a significant challenge, often affecting a young person's education, social life, and mental health. Young Carers Notts is a dedicated service that recognizes the incredible contribution these young people make while providing them with the support they need to thrive. The service offers a variety of ways for young carers to connect with others in similar situations, including fun activities and peer support groups that allow them to just be kids for a while. They provide official Young Carer Identification Cards, which help schools and healthcare professionals recognize and support their unique needs. Beyond social connection, the service offers practical advice and contingency planning to ensure that if something goes wrong, the young carer and their family are protected. By providing a safe space to talk and access to tailored resources, Young Carers Notts empowers young people to manage their responsibilities while ensuring they have the same opportunities for growth and happiness as their peers.
