Leeds Young Carers Support Service

Provides specialist information, advice and support for Young Carers, families and practitioners to improve the wellbeing of Young Carers in Leeds.

How it works

1. We offer Advice and Information to professionals, young carers and their families, via a range of methods including social media, activities, group work, networking, accessing and signposting to external agencies for young carers and families to gain additional support.
2. We offer Targeted Support via 1-2-1 work and group work in schools, community venues and home.
3. Awareness Raising, building strong working links with schools, colleges, GP’s, Health services, Youth workers, Housing and other services to help in the identification of Young Carers and the support that is available to them in their local community.

Get in touch

Current offer: We are working with our commissioners to explore ways that our service can support the children and young people’s workforce in Leeds (during this lockdown and social distancing period due to COVID-19)
