In the latest 4YP show, we hear from four young people who attend a young carers support group for 13-14 year olds with Spurgeons UK at their Wolverhampton base at The WorkSpace. 

Jess, Josh, Siwi and Eniola spoke about their experiences of being a young person with caring responsibilities for a parent or family member; how it makes them feel, how it affects them at school, and how Spurgeons support them. Their resilience and thoughtfulness are truly inspiring.

The audio of the interviews is taken from the video below. Whether you prefer to listen to the podcast, or watch the video, we'd love to receive your comments and feedback. Please like, share, and comment.

To mark Young Carers Awareness Day 2018, we speak to four young people from the Wolverhampton area about their experiences of being a young carer: how it makes them feel, how it affects them at school, and how Spurgeons UK support them. Their resilience and thoughtfulness are truly inspiring.
