Are you a young adult carer? Help us to Help you at SERC.

Did you know there are at least 375,000 young adult carers in the UK? Aged between 16-25, they care unpaid, for a family member or friend with an illness, mental health condition or disability.  

We feel it is important that young adult carers studying at SERC are supported to achieve their studies. We understand that young carers face many barriers. To help us get it right, we welcome advice and input from young adult carers on shaping the policies and College initiatives which are planned to be introduced over the next few months.

If you are a young adult carer, please contact us if you require assistance or are interested in helping us help you, simply email: youngadultcarers@serc.ac.uk

The Students’ Union and Student Class Reps will also be involved in supporting associated College initiatives and raising awareness of young adult carers and how we can support them.
