Young Adult Carers Transition Project

If you are aged between 17-25 years old and caring for someone the Young Adult Carers Transition Project can support you in a number of ways:

General Advice/Individual support

Need advice on care packages, benefits, employment, volunteering, and housing, or just want someone to talk to then drop us a line. For everything related to education, training, and help with all written papers, you should contact a company that provides purchase college research papers on https://elitewritings.com/college-research-paper.html web or other types of papers for anyone who needs help.

Young Adult Carers Group

The group meets monthly on the second Wednesday of every month from 6 pm-8 pm. This is your chance to meet and talk to other Young Adult Carers in Redbridge. It's a very relaxed group and we often sit and have a chat or do different activities e.g. mocktail making, and budgeting.

Social Activities

We also offer a range of different social activities every other month such as going out for dinner, going to comedy clubs going to theme parks, day trips, and creative activities.

Training and Self Development Courses

Various courses are arranged throughout the year either at our centre or through specialist providers such as employability skills, budgeting, confidence building and lots of different creative workshops e.g film making, music workshops.

Young Adult Carers Forum

We have a Young Adult Carers Forum which meets 4 times a year. This is your chance to have your say about different services locally and nationally. The forum will provide you with the opportunity to get your voice heard on issues surrounding young adult carers, whether it is health, education, or access to services. Your feedback will then be used to influence local practice and policy.

If you think this is something you would benefit from contact Emma Smart at Redbridge Carers Support Service at 020 8514 6251 or by email.

Young Adult Carers Training Course for Professionals

This training course is for all staff who work with young people and those providing frontline support to vulnerable young people aged 14 - 25. If you work with someone who has physical or mental health difficulties, a learning disability, alcohol/substance misuse, is ill, frail or elderly, then it is likely they have a carer. This course will give participants the awareness and skills to support the carer in their caring role and also support them to have a life outside of caring.
