Description
Barnet Young Carers provide support for all young carers. It does not matter what age you are, what school you go to, or why you are caring. They are here for all young carers.
Barnet Young Carers offers regular tutoring and homework clubs to help you stay on top of schoolwork and improve areas that might have been impacted by the time you spend caring for a loved one. If you’re struggling in school, don’t let the situation get worse. Reach out to us, and we’ll find ways to support you.
Caring can be a balancing act between looking after someone, keeping up with studies, and maintaining a social life, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. You might feel stressed, worried, or alone, but you don’t have to face it by yourself. Barnet Young Carers is here to listen and provide support, ensuring you get a well-deserved break to have some fun, with a minibus available to help you join in on activities.
