Young Carers at The CUBE on Symingtons

*From the organisers (correct at the time of publishing), please see the organiser’s website for the latest details.

​The Young Carers Group is to support young people aged 11-18 in the Harborough District who care for someone at home. Although being a young carer can have positive impacts on young people, such as increased resilience, empathy, maturity and stronger family bonding, it can also have negative impacts, such as higher stress, isolation, emotional strain and lower school attendance. The group is designed to help counter these negative impacts whilst valuing the positives impacts.

​​HCYC Young Carers Group offers young carers the chance to have fun, try new activities, learn something new, meet other young people, or relax with others that are in a similar situation. The young people are supported by well trained staff and may be able to access transport to attend the group if required.
