Supporting Eastleigh Young Carers

Your £5 donation provides resources for the Young Carers of Eastleigh. It is about enabling them to enjoy sessions with other young carers, who will understand the pressures and limitations each young carer feels.

Text 1COMM5 to 70085 to donate £5 or find our donate page for other options.

We work with young carers to better understand their caring role, equipping them to cope with their own personal and mental health & wellbeing needs. Also, we help young carers to achieve their aspirations and develop coping mechanisms.
