Service Provision

We provide support to Carers Aged 8-18 throughout South Lanarkshire.

We believe it is the right of every young carer to be recognised in their role and to have the same opportunities and life chances as other children and young people of a similar age.

We raise awareness, identify and provide direct support to children and young people who look after or help to look after someone in their family who is unwell or disabled, including children caring for parents who have mental health or substance misuse problems.

We can support with the following:

Support to complete Young Carers Statement (YCS)
Personal support, advice & guidance
Individual & group support
Short breaks & activities
Help to access specialist services
Help to access universal services such as leisure and youth services

We also provide drop-in support sessions at High Schools in South Lanarkshire and in our Base at the Barncluith Centre. If you would like to speak to one of our staff get in contact with us to arrange a suitable time and place to discuss.
