Young Carers Service

Carers Bromley supports carers of all ages living in the London Borough of Bromley.  The Young Carers Service supports young people who are aged between 4 – 18 years and who live in a family where someone is affected by a long term illness, disability, mental health issue, alcohol or substance misuse or HIV. 

The service aims to provide the following:

 

  • Opportunities to talk to someone who will listen
  • Opportunities to meet with other young carers
  • Information and help to access services available to them
  • Advocacy, both within families and with the statutory and voluntary agencies
  • Access to respite services
  • Help for young carers to develop their social skills, self esteem and confidence
  • Help young carers to have a childhood

 

This is achieved by offering:

 

  • Age appropriate activities (during school holidays)
  • Young Carers Forum (Over 11s)
  • Monthly Health Information Sessions (Over 10s)
  • Weekend Respite Opportunities
  • Regular Newsletters
  • Freephone Helpline Service
