Kids Ealing Young Carers Project

kidslogo Kids Ealing Young Carers Project supports young carers living in the borough of Ealing. A young carer is defined as a child who plays a significant role in caring for a person, family or otherwise in a manner which is inappropriate to their age and stage of development.

The person who is being cared for may have a range of needs which can include:

physical disability
mental health issues
dependency on drugs or alcohol
health issues including HIV and Aids

Kids Ealing Young Carers Project supports these young carers with respite activities, which include days out in the school holidays, advocacy and advice when requested, and one-to-one support with a project worker when required. The project also hosts a group every twice a month after school, where young carers can meet, talk to others, receive information and take part in social activities.

If you are or you know of a young carer who would like to join the Kids Ealing Young Carers group, please contact Sarah Clark on (020) 8825 5105 or email sarah.clark@kids.org.uk
