Young carers give so much of themselves caring for loved ones.
It's time we gave something back: a Fair Future #YoungCarersActionDay

When “free time” is spent worrying, something needs to change.
Young carers deserve support, stability and space to just be young.

I met with a number of kids involved with @SAcarerscentre on #YoungCarersActionDay.
Many are responsible for significant hours of care every single day without a break and limited support. We must do more to help them.

Day 2 of #YCAD began with an inspiring outside @ScotParl, where young carers gathered to share their voices! They were joined by First Minister @JohnSwinney and Minister for Public Health & Women’s Health, @MareeToddMSP in a show of support. #YoungCarers @scotgov #GeezaBreak

Today is Carers Rights Day! The theme is Recognising Your Rights!
It is vital that unpaid carers know about their rights, these are upheld and they are able to access the support that they need and deserve! #CarersRightsDay

Young carers do a huge amount for their families, communities & society. But all too often they don’t get the support they need in return.
On #YoungCarersActionDay this Wednesday, we are calling for early identification & more support to create Fair Futures for Young Carers
