As a young carer have you ever?_

How can Centre 33 help me?
.
We will listen to you, and offer someone to talk to, without judgement, to understand how you feel about caring. 
Our friendly team will meet with you and we can work together to come up with a plan that supports you in your caring role – this is known as a Young Carers Needs Assessment. (We can meet at your home, school or you can come into one of our hubs, we are also happy to meet online if that feels better for you – you decide.)
We can offer one to one and group support, giving you someone to talk to and the opportunity to meet other young people in similar situations.
Support you with transitions to secondary school or to other adulthood stages.
We give you a voice through Centre 33’s Young Carers Voices.
We offer fun activities to give you a break from your caring role.
