Young Carers
Our Eastleigh Young Carers Project offers flexible support for any young person aged 8 to 18 in the Eastleigh Borough whose life is significantly affected by caring for a family member, like a parent or a sibling, who has an illness, disability, mental health or substance misuse problem.
The project gives young carers the opportunity to meet others in a similar situation, take some well deserved time off, learn coping strategies and have fun. Through this project, we aim to empower young people and provide them with positive experiences in a safe and fun environment where they are free to be themselves.
Our mission
To improve the lives of young carers by providing safe, quality support. We aim to promote wellbeing and resilience through a holistic approach, which considers the needs of the whole family and minimises the physical and emotional impacts of caring.
Our vision
To provide a place where children and young people reach their potential and achieve a positive transition to adulthood, regardless of their family circumstances. We hope to empower them to make a valuable contribution to their community.
