The Hull Young Carers Project is an assessment and support service for young people aged between 5 years – 18 years who are impacted by caring responsibilities. They work in close partnership with a range of universal and targeted services, and in particular community-based youth services.

It is delivered by the Youth Development Service and aims to offer tailored support when needed with a variety of wider opportunities for young carers.

The offer - 

  • helping young carers find the support they need from local services, so that their caring responsibilities do not have a negative impact on their lives
  • opportunities for young carers to take a break from their caring responsibilities so they can -
    • spend time with other young carers
    • share experiences
    • have fun and build positive peer networks
  • an assessment to identify need and to agree a suitable support plan
  • tailored one-to-one support
  • information
  • advice 
  • guidance
  • support for young carers to access community-based activities such as -
    • peer support groups
    • youth centres
    • health centres 
    • holiday activities
  • a trusted adult/youth worker to advocate on a young carer’s behalf
  • opportunities to become involved and shape the future of services and support for young carers in the City
  • support with applications to the Young Carers Wellbeing Grant
