Be Free Young Carers

Giving Oxfordshire's young carers the freedom to be children and thrive.


Across Oxfordshire, children and young people are helping to care for family members living with illness, disability, mental health challenges or addiction. These young carers often shoulder responsibilities far beyond their years. Be Free Young Carers gives them the support and space to enjoy their childhood, build friendships, grow in confidence and look forward to a brighter future.

Take on a challenge for Be Free Young Carers and help provide one-to-one emotional support, mental wellbeing programmes, befriending volunteers, youth clubs and fun activity days. Your support gives young carers somewhere to feel understood, be themselves, form lasting friendships and take a much-needed break from the pressures they face at home. Every step you take can help a young carer feel seen, supported and free to be a child again.
