Young Carers Action Day provides an opportunity for everyone to call for better support for young carers and young adult carers, and to bring about change.

 

The Young Carers Action Day 2025 theme, ‘Give Me A Break’, highlights the important need for young carers to have time to rest and recharge while also calling on schools and employers to provide better support, helping them balance their responsibilities and achieve their full potential.

 

Young carers face a huge array of challenges as a result of their caring role. The Carers Trust annual young carer survey repeatedly shows many young carers are disadvantaged across multiple aspects of their lives, including mental and physical health, finances, education and employment.
