About TYKES
TYKES offers respite and support to young people between the ages of 5 and 25 who have a caring role within their home. We aim to make a positive difference in the lives and wellbeing of Young Carers and their families by offering advice along with emotional and practical support. TYKES advocates for Young Carers and raises awareness of their issues by engaging with the community, statutory agencies and other organisations.
TYKES believes it is the right of every Young Carer to be recognised, have their voice heard and have the same life chances and opportunities as other children and young people of a similar age.
