Young Carers Services
13+ Youth Group
We actively challenge inequality and ensure no one is left out, left behind, or left unheard…
Teenage Young Carers: Stay Connected
We offer a fun and supportive youth programme just for our teenage young carers, including online chats, monthly hangouts, competitions, and more.
Private Social Media Groups
A secure, invite-only space where you can chat, share, ask questions, and find advice. We post mental health tips, self-care ideas, and support links. Monitored by our Youth Workers to keep things safe and respectful.

Email Option
Not on Facebook? No problem. Sign up for our monthly email update instead. You’ll get group highlights and all the details for upcoming hangouts—straight to your inbox (yours, your parent’s, or both).
Y
Monthly Hangouts
Meet up after school once a month. Same time and same place! A great way to unwind, talk, and make friends who understand what it’s like to care for someone. Young Carer led sessions – have your say on what we do at the hang out.
Why it Matters
Having friends who “get it” makes a big difference. Our hope is that even after you leave Be Free YC at 18, the friendships and support will stay with you.
