It’s Young Carers Action Day!
Young Carers Action Day (YCAD) raises awareness about young carers (YCs) and young adult carers (YACs), the challenges they face and the support they need. This yearโs theme is Fair Futures for Young Carers which will be focussing on why caring should not be a barrier to learning, earning or being able to get on in life – but for many, it is.
Being a young carer shouldnโt be a barrier to a young personโs dreams. It should be a stepping stone to a brighter future. Together, letโs create a future where young carers can dream without limits.
