Surrey Young Carers

Surrey Young Carers gives free help to young carers aged 5 to 16.

A young carer is a child who helps to care for someone in the family. The person may be ill, disabled or need help with daily life.

A young carer may:

• help someone get out of bed
• help someone take medicine
• give care and support
• cook, clean or shop for the family

The service offers:

• free advice and support
• free events and activities
• groups where young carers can meet
• one-to-one help when more support is needed
• help with the move to secondary school

The groups give young carers time away from caring. They can have fun and meet other young carers.

A young carer aged 13 or over can sign up for support. A parent, carer or worker can also fill in the form.
