A young carer is someone who looks after a member of their family who is ill, frail, disabled, suffers from mental ill health or a substance misuse problem.
Young Carers have told us that being a Carer can be hard sometimes.
If this applies to you, then the East Ayrshire Carers Centre is here to help.
The groups are set up as follows-
Carers Cottage, Kilmarnock -
Cumnock Carers Centre -
New Cumnock -
Dalmellington -
Our Young Carers Team are able to offer 1:1 in person support, as well as group support. You can come along and meet other young carers who know and understand how you feel. Come and socialise over a nice home cooked meal and most importantly have fun! We can help with emotional or practical support & help Young Carers complete a Young Carers Statement.
