Story

Young carers work incredibly hard to take care of their loved ones. This could involve daily household tasks, mental health support, helping a loved one get showered and/or dressed and much much more. It is a 24/7 responsibility and on top of that they go to school, college, university or work. It's just their way of life. This can ultimately lead to them facing significant disadvantage as a result and MYTIME Young Carers don't think that's right or fair.

A group of us have come together to Brave the Waves every day in January, to raise money for MyTime Yo

ung Carers. This is a national charity with a mission of levelling up the playing field for the children who fulfill these caring roles, so they don't experience a lifetime of disadvantage as a result.
