Campaign: | To help people understand the pressure on young carers. |
I look after my mum, who has ME, and my brother, who has Asperges Syndromme.
I'm 19 years old.
There aren't a lot of opportunities for work in Somorset, and moving away is difficult when you have caring responsibilities.
I want my Fixers project to bring together young carers who face similar everyday stresses to mine, and provide them with a space to release these tensions as a group through fun activities.
I hope that it also raises awareness about the pressure that young carers are under.
