Young Carers Project - YCP
Do you spend time looking after a grandparent, parent or sibling?
Maybe you help with the shopping, cooking, cleaning, bathing or dressing someone, collecting benefits, or helping with translation?
We can help you to with the practical things such as filling out forms, speaking to professionals on your behalf and helping you with your school or college work.
We can also provide you with some "time out" to do fun things such as days trips, leisure activites and holidays. It's a great way to meet other young carers.
If you are between the ages of 6 and 18, and live, work or study in Croydon , then calls us to see how we can support you.

Here's what some of our young carers say about our project....
"It was good to get a break from being worn out at home" (Residential weekend away)
"The break was good because it was like going to lots of day trips in one day...I made lots of friends!!" (Residential weekend away)
"The main theme is "be yourself", because you are who you are...everyone gets nervous in front of new people but Helen & Jonathan (project workers) are great at breaking the ice" (Over 17's meal)
