What we do
Free and confidential advice, support and activities for young carers in Nottinghamshire.
Young Carers Notts
Young Carers Notts is a free and confidential service that helps young carers aged 5-17 to take a break and get information, advice and support about caring.
​
We hold regular events where young carers across the county can meet, make new friends and learn new skills – and try fun activities.
Advice & Information
We offer young people a one-stop-shop for advice about caring. We can help with things like a carers assessment, a carers ID card and planning.
Events and activities
Young Carers Notts gives young people the chance to have a break and join fun activities, group sessions, short breaks, and social with other young carers.
​
Parents, carers & professionals
Young Carers Notts helps those working with young people to increase identification of young carers and promote the support available to them in the community.
