What is Young Carers Notts?

Young Carers Notts is a free and confidential service that supports young carers aged 5-17 who live in Nottinghamshire and the City of Nottingham to take a break and get practical advice and information about caring.

·       Group based peer support

·       Activities and social events

·       Outreach and drop-in sessions
