Edinburgh Young Carers

About Edinburgh Young Carers

Edinburgh Young Carers is a dedicated charity based in the heart of Edinburgh, UK, focused on supporting young individuals who take on caring responsibilities for family members. Our mission is to ensure that these young carers receive the recognition, support, and opportunities they deserve.

We provide a range of services designed to empower young carers, including:

• Emotional Support: Offering a safe space for young carers to express their feelings and experiences.
• Practical Assistance: Helping with daily tasks and providing resources to ease their caregiving responsibilities.
• Social Activities: Organizing events and outings to foster friendships and provide a break from their caring roles.
• Advocacy: Working to raise awareness about the challenges faced by young carers and advocating for their rights.

Our vision is to create a society where young carers are valued and supported, allowing them to thrive both personally and academically. We believe that every young carer should have access to the same opportunities as their peers, regardless of their circumstances.

Through collaboration with local schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations, we strive to build a network of support that addresses the unique needs of young carers. Our team is passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of these remarkable young individuals.

Join us in our mission to support young carers in Edinburgh and help us make a difference in their lives.
