Lewisham Young Carers Project

This project offers young carers and their families support information and advice.

Our service provides recreational respite, advocacy, a befriending service and therapeutic support to young people who have caring responsibilities for a relative with a long-term illness or disability.

The Young Carers Project is somewhere that young carers can go to for:

  • individual advice and support
  • the opportunity to meet other carers
  • regular trips and activities
  • newsletter
  • a Young Carers pack.

The Young Carers pack contains helpful information on:

  • assessments
  • help with money
  • what to do in an emergency
  • disability and illness.
