Young Carers Action Day took place on Wednesday 11 March. Organised and led by Carers Trust, the day raises awareness of the thousands of young people who care for a family member or friend, often balancing significant responsibilities alongside school, work, and everyday life.

Being a young carer can be tough, but no one has to face it alone. Support is available across Herefordshire, from emotional help and practical advice to financial guidance and local services designed to make life a little easier. If you or someone you know is a young carer, the Talk Community Directory provides a dedicated hub of information and support options to help you find the right help when you need it.
