明星八卦

You are a young carer if you are under the age of 25 at enrolment and someone in your familiy or a friend depends on you for support. This may be because they have an illness,disability,a mental health problem or an addiction.

We currently work in partnership with the local Carers Trust to provide activities which engage and inform young people about educational opportunities and options.

We are developing our outreach to Young Carers so please get in touch if you work with Young Carers.We are happy to organise an event such as a visit to a young carers group, or a campus visit to 明星八卦.We are able to offer tailored events.
