Carers Week
Young carers are under the age of eighteen and look after or help to look after a family member suffering
from a long term illness, disability or dependency on substances. They may undertake a range of caring
tasks and assume physical and emotional responsibilities normally carried out by an adult.
Carers Week aims to highlight the impact being a carer can have. Some young carers across Kent have
taken time to write about a day in their lives as carers. To read their stories please click
here.
All the young carers you will read about are supported by young carers projects. To find out more about
the projects please click here.
