Young Carers
Young carers are children who help look after a member of the family who is sick, disabled or has mental health problems, or is misusing drugs or alcohol.
The Club funded an activity day on Wednesday 1st August at the UK Superbowl Newark (10-Pin Bowling) and meal afterwards for 4 young carers from Newark.
A young carer is a young person who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who has any type of illness, disability or addiction and cannot manage without the young carer's support. There are estimated to be around 700,000 young carers in the UK which is approximately 1 in every 12 teenagers and round 2 in every classroom. The roles taken on by a young carer are exhaustive and are carried out often behind closed doors on top of the normal pressures of a young persons life. Responsibilities may range from providing practical support such as helping to cook, clean or wash, giving personal care, emotional support, providing medication or helping with financial chores.
