Support For Young Carers

A range of support for young carers in the South Side of Glasgow

At Glasgow South Carers Centre, we understand the challenges young carers can face and are here to offer guidance, reassurance and practical support. From one-to-one support and funding opportunities to our YC Connect group, we provide a welcoming space where young carers can meet others, enjoy activities, build confidence and take a well-deserved break from their caring responsibilities.

Our dedicated Young Carers Workers also help young people understand their rights and access support at home, in education and within their community. This includes helping them complete a Young Carers Statement to identify their needs and ensure their voices are heard. Above all, we want every young carer to know they are not alone and that support is always available.
