Wigan and Leigh Young Carers

We support unpaid carers aged 5 years upwards. We have a dedicated team of Young Carer’s support workers, this includes a dedicated member of the team who supports Young Adult Carers and Young Carers in Transition (age 16-24).

Young carers and their families do not always know where to go for help. You may not have realised that your child is a young carer, as it’s just part of your family life, or you may have hit a crisis point and don’t know where to turn.

We have over 18 years experience of working with young carers from as young as five, right through the teenage years and up to the point where they become independent adults. We can provide ongoing support and advice and a listening ear.

Please visit the website below for more information and support including groups/activities young carers can attend in their local area.
