Centre 33 Young Carers Service

Centre 33 provides support for Young Carers aged 18 and under who live in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

A young carer is someone who looks after someone in their family who has a mental or physical illness, disability or is dependent on drugs or alcohol. They may offer emotional or physical or practical support (or a combination of these) and take on tasks that are usually done by an adult.

Being a young carer, they may be impacted in the following ways: physical or emotional wellbeing, education or aspirations, increased social isolation, bullying or problems with friendships, access to opportunities, risk taking behaviours.
