Description

Southend Young Carers supports young carers aged 5 to 17 years old who are unpaid young carers for their family members. This can be mum, dad, brother, sister, nan/grandad due to a number of issues such as terminal illness, illness, disabilities, mental health issues, drug or alcohol addiction. 

We offer a weekly kid's club at Blenheim Children's Centre every Tuesday 4:30pm to 6:30pm with a whole range of different activities each week and we also offer a fun monthly event for our Young Carers to attend.

We offer a safe, non-judgemental environment for all young carers to receive the support and break that they need from their caring responsibilites.

All of our events are completely FREE to our registered young carers only.
