What we do
We are commissioned through Lancashire County Council and NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board as a statutory service for Lancashire with the responsibility for assessing all Young Carers across the County.
We support Young Carers under the age of 18 who provide regular and ongoing care and emotional support to a family member who is physically or mentally ill, disabled or misuses substances and are significantly affected by their caring role.
We can help with
- Young people with caring responsibilities have all the challenges of being young, with all the responsibilities of being an adult. We support children and young people who care for and look after family members affected by health issues, disability or substance misuse. We help them look after their loved ones and give them time to enjoy their childhoods.
