Hull Young Carers Project
The Hull Young Carers Project is an assessment and support service for people aged 18 years old and younger who are impacted by caring responsibilities. The project involves close partnership with a range of universal and targeted services, and in particular community-based youth services.
It is delivered by our Youth Development Services and aims to offer tailored support when needed with a variety of wider opportunities for young carers.

- spend time with other young carers
- share experiences
- have fun and build positive peer networks
- an assessment to identify need and to agree a suitable support plan
- tailored one-to-one support
- information
