Young Adult Carers Service

We are here to support Young Adult Carers aged 16 – 25 across Bridgend.

Young Adult Carers Support Worker

Hello, My name is Alissa and I support the Young Adult Carers. I have had the privilege of working with and supporting the Young Carers in Bridgend since January 2020. I am very passionate about my job role and have recently stepped into the Manager role alongside supporting YAC’s.

Young Adult Carers Group

We run Young Adult Carer group for 16 – 25 year olds to have a break from their caring role and meet others in a similar situation. We offer training and skills workshops, fun activities and trips in the school holidays.

Face to Face Support

We provide emotional and practical support to help young adult carers to manage their caring role and the emotions that come with being a young adult carer. A chance to chat openly with us about things that may be troubling you.

Education and Employment Support

We provide them with the support they need to manage their caring role alongside education or employment. We can help with CV writing, job/university applications, transport to interviews, interview prep and more..

Carers Grants

We can apply for grant funding for Young Adult Carers who are facing financial difficulties and have a support worker who is able to help with financial resilience.
