The Young Carers Service (Shropshire) supports young people aged between five and 18 years old who are carers for a family member who is ill, disabled, suffers with mental health difficulties or has alcohol/drug related issues.

The service offers:

• Peer support
• Respite opportunities
• Fun activities such as arts, music, sports and trips
• 1:1 support from young carers in a similar situation
• A chance to make a difference to other young carers
• A chance to relax, have a break and have fun.

Groups are held monthly at various locations around Shropshire.
