WOKINGHAM YOUNG CARERS
We support over 100 young carers from Bracknell and Wokingham in Berkshire. These are young people, aged under 16, who, despite their age, have caring responsibilities in the home, often for a parent. These young people have often put their own lives on hold while they focus on helping their parent on a daily basis.
Berkshire Youth in partnership with Age UK Berkshire and Promise Inclusion, funded by Wokingham Borough Council started delivering the Wokingham Young Carers Service in April 2023.
​
The service aims to better identify and provide support for young carers to develop emotionally and physically, as well as being able to take full advantage of opportunities for educational achievement and life success.

​​
​​Berkshire Youth is committed to providing the best possible support to young carers and their families across Wokingham Borough Council through a holistic three-prong approach, encompassing essential services in a child and family centred model: respite, family support and school support.
