Support for Young Carers in Tower Hamlets
A Young Carer is a person aged 18 or under who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member suffering from:
- a long-term illness/condition
- a physical or learning disability
- a drug or alcohol problem
- a mental health condition
The Young Carers Project is run by Tower Hamlets Youth Service and is a project which aims to provide young carers the opportunity to take a break from the daily responsibilities of being a carer by interacting with others facing similar challenges.
