Our Gateshead A voice for Gateshead online

We work with children and young people in Gateshead aged 8-18 who care for a family member in their household who might have a chronic or terminal illness, physical disability, learning or behavioural problem, mental illness or alcohol or substance addiction. We provide social opportunities, one to one support, school drop-ins as well as helping young carers and their families to access other services. We also work to raise the profile of young carers and their needs through media, campaigning and educational resources.
