About the Young Carers Support App

If you are a young carer, or you know someone who is, you’ll know that young carers need and deserve proper support around them. They need support to help them be able to care for their loved ones while taking care of their own physical and mental health, and looking forwards to a future of personal growth and positivity.

The Young Carers Support app enables young and young adult carers in the UK to find information and advice, self-help resources, wellbeing tips and activities, plus a catalogue of support services – all in one place.

Caring Together and partners, Centre 33 and Carers Matter Norfolk, have worked with Expert Self Care Ltd, to ensure there is also local information available for young carers in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Norfolk.

Download the app

The App is free and available for any young carer, or professional working with young carers to download on Android and iOS. See the links below to download the app.
