Having the right information can be really helpful and enable you to get the right support.

Some of the information other young carers have wanted is:

• Details about the illness or disability of the person they are caring for
• Some idea of what side effects there may be with medication
• How to get help when they wanted to go on holiday
• What to do in an emergency
• Who to talk to when they were fed up

We can also let you know about help that is available to you, from either ourselves or other local organisations. There are also a number of organisations helping young carers across the country.
