Caring for someone?

About

Make new friends, have some fun and share some of your worries with people in similar situations to your own. Join a safe space where you can have fun and chat with trustworthy youth workers.

These sessions are for 11-19 year olds. We run three Young Carers sessions across Bristol and depending on where you live there may be a session locally that you can join. They are all free and we have food available, as well as crafts materials and we regularly organise free trips.
