Young Carers Notts is a free and confidential service that supports young carers aged 5 to 17 living in Nottinghamshire and the City of Nottingham. Our aim is to provide young carers with a break and offer practical advice and information about caring.

We offer:

• Carers assessments

• Access to young carers ID cards

• Contingency planning and support

• Group based peer support

• Activities and social events

• Outreach and drop-in sessions
