MYTIME Young Carers

Sadie is twelve years old. Her mum is unwell, her dad's not around, and its Sadie's job to take care of her mum and little brother. But who takes care of Sadie? At MYTime, we work to provide Sadie and the other 800,000 young carers like her in the UK with the support, opportunities and friendship that every child deserves. Young carers are aged between 5 and 18, they are responsible for looking after relatives who may have a disability, illness mental health issue or a drug/alcohol problem. We believe that no child's destiny should be defined by their beginning, so we exist to champion this incredibly compassionate group of young people and to help them in every way we can to fulfil their full potential.
