Barnardo’s runs 15 services across the UK which work to support young carers and their families in a variety of ways:  Helping the family to find the support they need, and are entitled to, from local services, so that a child’s caring responsibilities can be reduced.  Supporting young carers to use local services such as sports clubs, support groups, and health centres.  Providing advice and emotional support through counselling and drop-in sessions.  Liaising with schools so that teachers can better support their students.  Providing opportunities for young carers to take a break from their caring responsibilities, spend time with other young carers and share experiences and providing opportunities for young carers to learn more about their parent’s illness or disability
