The Carers Centre for Brighton and Hove supports unpaid carers aged under 25 to reduce the impact of their caring role on their social, emotional and educational development. They provide one-to-one and group support work, as well as respite activities.
A 16-year-old carer struggling with anxiety found the mindfulness and ecotherapy sessions in green spaces transformative. Through taking part in upcycling and food-waste workshops, she developed valuable life skills – including how to save money – while also building confidence, independence and practical skills. As a result, her overall wellbeing significantly improved. She now encourages her friends to access The Carers Centre too.
