Caerphilly Young Carers Support - Family support services
What we do
Caerphilly CBC Carers Team are now offering support to young carers.
We can offer:
- One to one support which includes what matters to you as a young carer (known as a carer’s assessment).
- Group sessions to chat about your caring role with us and other carers.
- Opportunities for well-being support from Child and Family Psychology.
- Information sessions on things you might like to learn about.
- Fun activities and time out from your caring role. (We’re always looking for new things to do, too, so would love for you to tell us what you’d like to do.)
- Free or reduced cost gym memberships from CCBC gyms and leisure centres (this depends on age).
Keeping in Touch:
- A closed Facebook group with details of all our activities and events, while being able to access peer support from other young carers. Search for “Caerphilly County Borough Young Carers Group” and ask to join.
