Who We Are

Who We Are

St Helens Young Carers Centre is part of St Helens Carers Centre – an independent charity which has been running since 2001. In 2013, the Charity set up St Helens Young Carers to support Young Carers across the borough with a mission to help to reduce the impact of their caring role.


We know that caring for someone who is unwell, disabled or has a drug or alcohol mis-use problem can have a big impact on a Young Carers life. It can be difficult for them to find the time to do things for themselves, like spending time with friends or keeping up to date with school work. 


Our service provides support to Young Carers so that they are recognised and have the same opportunities and life chances as other children and young people of a similar age.


The Young Carers service consists of a small team who are committed to ensuring Young Carers and their families receive the support they need. Young Carers have their own separate building (opposite St Helens Town Hall); it has been specifically designed to meet the needs of Young Carers and their families.

Our Aim

To provide support as early as possible, so that Young Carers do not fall behind in school or miss out on social opportunities. We want them to have a life outside of caring; a chance to enjoy a social life. In doing so, we will help them to receive the support they need in order to achieve academically, enabling them to access future training, education or employment. We want them to realise their own potential, set goals and have aspirations that are within their reach. 

The Vision

To work with Young Carers and their families to make a difference for life
