Harlow Young Carers

This project offers information and support for young carers and their families living in the Harlow area.

Young carers are children and young people up to the age of eighteen years who look after a:

  • Parent, sister, brother or other relative
  • Neighbour
  • Friend

Who

  • â is ill
  • â has a disabilityâ 
  • â is affected by HIV or AIDS
  • â has a mental health problems
  • â or who may take drugs or drink too much alcohol

If you are a young carer, you may be helping in all sorts of ways from cleaning and cooking to helping the person you care for with personal care such as going to the toilet or having a bath and dressing. Caring affects each young person differently and many young carers do not realise that there are people in the community that can help.

Harlow Young Carers is a free service and they can be contacted on:
