All of our young carer clubs are open again so if you are a member of our clubs in Maldon, Colchester, Harlow, Stansted, Witham, Great Dunmow or Loughton we look forward to seeing you at our next regular club night.
Please contact us if you are not already a member and are interested in joining other Young Carers at these fun groups. Email [email protected], contact us via www.affc.org.uk or call us on 0300 770 8090. Alternatively, you can fill out our online referral form https://affc.org.uk/make-a-referral and one of our team will get back to you as soon as they can.
Many events take place at club night including access to computers, games such as pool and table tennis, arts and crafts, life skills such as cooking and varied seasonal activities. Occasional trips and other activities run over school holidays.
Clubs give Young Carers a chance to make friends who are also caring for someone, to have fun and a break from their caring role.
Young Carers are children as young as five years old, and any young person aged under 18, whose life is restricted in some way because they look after someone else on a regular basis.
