Young Carers Club provides a supportive and friendly environment for young people aged 8–12 who help care for someone at home.
The programme runs on Thursdays between 5:30pm–7pm at The Nest, with two groups of 20 children attending on alternating weeks. It is delivered in partnership with The Benjamin Foundation and supported by the Family Hubs Fund at Norfolk County Council.
Young carers are children who regularly support someone in their family who is physically or mentally unwell, disabled or living with an addiction. Their responsibilities can range from helping with washing, dressing or taking medicines, as well as tasks such as shopping, cleaning or organising finances.
The Young Carers Club gives participants a safe, welcoming space to take time for themselves, have fun and connect with others who share similar experiences. Sessions are focused on physical activity – such as football, padel, table tennis, darts, pool and board games – as well as personal development to build teamwork, communication, leadership and resilience.
All sessions are led by trained and experienced coaches, creating an environment where young carers can relax, make new friends and enjoy being active.
The programme is free to attend, and families can register their interest using the form below.
