What you can do to get involved in Young Carers Action Day 2025!
If you’re a young carer, you deserve a break.
That’s what young carers like you have told us loud and clear.
Whether it’s time to focus on your future, unwind with friends, or just catch your breath - getting a break from your caring role is really important.
That’s why this Young Carers Action Day, we’re standing with you.
Together, let’s demand more support and recognition for young carers. And we need your voice to make it happen.
Here are some of the ways you can get involved this Young Carers Action Day and help young carers get the breaks they deserve.
You can also help raise awareness of young carers like yourselves and the importance of a break. Share our social media posts, which will be published during the week of Young Carers Action Day, 10-14th March 2025.
Take action
We want to make sure young carers’ voices like yours are heard by those in power! Writing to your local MP, MSP, MS, or councillors is a powerful way to call for better support.
Here’s what you could ask them:
- Will you take a break from your schedule to meet young carers and see their challenges firsthand?
- How will you raise awareness of young carers in your local area?
- Will you commit to pushing for better identification and support for young carers in Parliament?
Find your local MP and their email address
If your local politician responds and wants to help, we’re here to guide them on how they can support our national work. Your voice can help bring real change!
