Swindon Carers Centre is a charitable organisation, which is part of the Carers Trust Network, established to provide help and support to the 21,000 unpaid carers in Swindon. Young carers are children who look after someone within their family home. This may be a parent, brother, sister or other family member who has an illness, physical or learning disability, a mental health illness or misuse of drugs or alcohol. A young carer usually takes on practical and/or emotional caring responsibilities that would normally be expected of an adult. The Young Carer team supports children aged 5 years and up.
