Welcome to Barking & Dagenham and Thurrock Young Carers


At Barking & Dagenham and Thurrock Young Carers we provide advice, information and support for young people who care for someone in their family with a long term illness, disability, mental health condition or drug and alcohol misuse. Whether you care for your mum, dad, brother, sister or grandparent, we are here to provide help & support when you need it.


We are delighted to be chosen as the Barking & Dagenham Mayor's Charity. It is a great opportunity to raise awareness of informal Carers and the vital support they provide to a loved one, relative, friend or neighbour. It also enables us to raise funds to support Carers living in Barking & Dagenham. We are humbled and grateful to the Mayor Elect Councillor Donna Lumsden for thinking of us and look forward to support her in the future fundraising events throughout the mayoral year.
