A carer at 8 years old
Oliver was 8 when his mum Wendy collapsed unexpectedly at home. He called an ambulance which saved her life, and became her carer when she developed heart problems. Caring was overwhelming but when he was 11 he joined a young carers’ group.

The Carers Trust Network

The Carers Trust Network
Young carers’ groups, delivered through the Carers Trust Network, offer fun activities and new skills like painting, poetry and cookery. The groups offer a chance for young carers to take a break together.
