Action for Carers Surrey

If you are a young person and you help care for someone who has an illness, a disability, or is affected by mental ill-health or alcohol/substance misuse, we can help you. You might not realise that the jobs you are doing at home to support your family make you a Young Carer.  There are a lot of children that are doing the same thing and Action for Carers is a support organisation that can help you.  They can do this either through opportunities for you to have time outs or more tailored work through one on ones.  

If you are concerned or feel that you are in this situation and need support, please ask to see Mrs Davies in the Wellbeing Team or Mrs Beaumont in Student Services, who will make an appointment to see you.  You will be invited to join the Young Carers Club in school which runs over a lunch time once a fortnight.
