Young Carers Re-Launch
The Young Carers Service is a now delivered through a new partnership, which includes Telford & Wrekin Council’s Family Help and Education teams as well as Telford & Wrekin CVS (TWCVS).
The service works with schools and Family Hubs to identify and support young carers and their families, helping children and young people balance caring responsibilities while still having time to learn, grow and enjoy being young.
It can be accessed through the Family Information Service via Family Connect.
Young carers helped shape the relaunched service by sharing their experiences and suggestions. Their feedback highlighted the need for stronger links between schools and support services, helping create a more joined-up approach for families.
The service offers emotional support, opportunities to meet other young carers, fun activities, practical help and advice for families. Its aim is to improve young carers' wellbeing, help them thrive at school and ensure they can enjoy the same opportunities as other children and young people.
