Raising Awareness for Young Carer Action Day 2025 – #GiveMeABreak
To mark Young Carer Action Day 2025, we have created an awareness video designed to be played in schools. This year’s theme, #GiveMeABreak, highlights the need for young carers to have time for themselves and the importance of extra support from education professionals. Many young carers juggle immense responsibilities at home alongside their schoolwork, often leading to stress and exhaustion. By increasing awareness, we hope to encourage schools to recognize and support the incredible young people balancing these challenges every day.
The video showcases real experiences of young carers and the impact that understanding and tailored support can have on their well-being. We invite schools, educators, and the wider community to watch and share this resource, helping to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for young carers. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that young carers get the break they truly deserve. #YoungCarerActionDay2025 #GiveMeABreak
