Carer Stories
Celina’s story
Celina is a young adult carer who looks after her mum who has cerebral palsy, fibromyalgia, agoraphobia, and some mental health issues.
Activities & Breaks
Looking after someone can sometimes be tough. Doing other stuff like cooking, cleaning, shopping and looking out for someone you love might mean you don’t get to spend much time with friends and school holidays might be different than the ones your school friends enjoy.
We work with people like Youth Action Wiltshire to provide activities and breaks for young carers.
Get Involved!
