Empowering young carers in Wigan & Leigh

Wigan & Leigh Young Carers were awarded £39,542 raised through The Health Lottery, vital funds to support those with a lot of responsibility on their young shoulders.

This two-year project was the development of an existing young adult carers’ social group.

It delivers a tailored and flexible transition support service to14-24 year olds in Wigan borough providing unpaid care for a family member.

These young carers are the main source of support for family members with a chronic illness, disability, mental ill health, sensory impairment or substance misuse issues.

The project promotes self-determination, building on principles of empowerment and social action.

Wigan & Leigh Young Carers is user-led, with the charity board including two young adult carers.
