Southampton Young Carers
Across the UK, thousands of young people spend up to 50 hours each week helping to care for a sick or disabled family member. From cooking and cleaning to looking after younger siblings, they often concentrate so hard on keeping on top of their daily tasks that their schoolwork suffers or they find it hard to make friends. Southampton Young Carers used money raised through Sport Relief to run a series of sporting activities and workshops, designed to provide opportunities for fun and friendship and to give the young carers a much-needed break from their responsibilities at home.
