We are all about improving the lives of young carers.
We meet up regularly to work together to campaign on issues that affect us.

We meet up regularly to work together to campaign on issues that affect us.
In our third campaign year, the group want to focus on reducing impacts on young carers’ health and wellbeing.
In the third year of the network (2022-23), the group wanted to raise awareness about young carers with education providers, help schools prepare and respond to the new schools’ census category, and help schools and other education settings better support young carers.
In the second year of the network (2021-22), the group wanted their collective campaign to focus on mental health.
In the first year of the network (2020-21), the group wanted their collective campaign to focus on identifying and supporting young carers in education settings.
We want to get young carers identified in schools so they can access support earlier, as well as getting Ofsted to ask about young carers in school inspections.
