Carers Week 2012 starts on the 18th June.

If you are a child or young person

And...

You can answer yes to these questions:

·        Do you have to help out a lot at home because your mum, dad, brother, or sister are unable to carry out tasks for themselves?

·        Do you often find it hard to go to school / to arrive at school on time, or spend time with friends because you are worried about leaving your family member without help and support?

Then you are probably a young carer or young adult carer

You can get help, information and advice locally from Crossroads Care Young Carers Project on 01792 841136 text 07966314715, ycroads@btinternet.com or Neath Port Talbot Carers Service on 01639 642277.
