Youth Clubs
Our youth clubs are just for young carers (aged 5 – 16 years). We have separate groups – primary and secondary – so that young carers of the same age can be together.
The youth clubs give young carers a break and a chance to spend time with other young people who live in similar circumstances.
We enjoy arts and crafts, baking, drama, sports, music and Xbox!
When: Tuesday 3 June 5 – 6.30 pm
To find out more about the Young Carers service please email enquiries@yorkcarerscentre.co.uk or call 01904 715 490.

Carers Week
9 – 15 June
Carers Week is a national campaign dedicated to raising awareness of unpaid carers, highlighting the challenges they face, and recognising the vital role they play in families and communities.
This year, we’re hosting a series of events to shine a light on unpaid carers and spread the word about the free support and resources available in York.
We want local carers to know we’re here for you – whenever you need us.
Join us at one of our events to connect with a Carer Support Worker and meet others who share similar experiences.
There’s plenty happening throughout Carers Week, including our gazebo in Museum Gardens, which was a big hit last year.
Many carers stopped by to say hello, catch up, and enjoy a picnic including our Young Adult Carers group – it was wonderful to see. We’d love to welcome even more of you this year!
