For young people who help care for someone

You look after a lot. There is support for you too.

Bridgit is a private place to ask questions, understand your caring role and get practical help with school, wellbeing, family life and plans for the future.

There is no ‘right’ way to be a young carer. You can start with whatever is on your mind today.
