For every £1 we spend, 84p helps vulnerable children and families
Looking after someone who has a mental health issue, disability or illness is a huge responsibility. And for young carers, there’s no pause.
While other children are wrapping up warm and enjoying winter activities with friends, young carers are at home caring for a family member.
They cook meals, clean the house, and help with medication. These adult responsibilities can leave them feeling exhausted, lonely, and forgotten, especially when the days are short and cold.
Young carers aren't going to stop caring. But your donation could help give them the break they deserve. Time to have fun and balance their caring responsibilities with just being a child and growing up.
Your gift could give a young carer time to be a child again.
Action for Children provides support in all different ways... The support my son receives in particular is really good but they also support the whole family
