Gloucestershire Young Carers (GYC)

Gloucestershire Young Carers (GYC) is a countywide charity supporting young people from eight to twenty four who help care for a family member as a result of chronic illness, disability, mental ill health or substance misuse. GYC provides not only direct services to young carers and their families, but also supports other agencies to respond to the needs of young carers and works with young carers to influence strategic change in service delivery. 

Direct services include supporting families to access services to minimise the impact of caring on young people; young carer groups offering peer support and social opportunities; targeted support groups and events (mental ill health, substance misuse, young adult carers);health and well being courses; targeted one to one support; young carers' participation; and short breaks offering a range of positive activities and opportunities.
