Hi! We are the Hertfordshire Young Carers Council

What is a Young Carer?

A young carer is someone under the age of 18 who helps to care for a member (or more than one member) of their family who may be ill, have a physical disability or mental ill-health, drug or alcohol problems.
 

	Think you might be a young carer?
	Want to know more?
	Then contact us for more information!

Once you join the Project, you can come along and join in with all our great activities and trips - these are free and all transport is provided.  Click on the Activities link to see some of the things we get up to and find out about some of the trips coming up.

Cheers!

• Hertfordshire Young Carers Project started in 1999.
• We are a countywide project so there are lots of young carers in the County who should know about our Project.
• Professionals as well can find out about young carers and the help and support they need from this website.  Click here for more information.
