Crossroads Young Carers Project Case Study

West Anglia Crossroads Caring for Carers

The project will provide help, support and group sessions to young carers under 19 whose lives are restricted by their caring responsibilities. It would offer one on one support, days out, life skills and focus days, short projects and residential trips.

It will begin carer groups in schools and encourage carers to become volunteers. The programme will be decided by the young carers through a youth council, and will include sporting and outdoor activities and new healthy eating and cookery groups.

The project will benefit 280 people.
