TYKES (The Young Karers East Sutherland) - Project
Project overview
This project will assist young carers to lead, as far as possible, a life similar to their peers without caring responsibilities. The project will help 70 young carers over five years by ensuring services are in place to assist the young carer to have more 'me' time and to help the family to work together more positively. Respite is also arranged to allow the young carer to attend youth groups or meet other young carers to share and learn from their experiences. The grant will be used to cover salary costs.
