Bromley Well provides support for Young Carers. They support Young Carers aged 4 to 19 to manage caring relationships whilst enjoying childhood.

There are two full-time Young Carer Workers. The service provides:

  • Emotional support to discuss your caring role and any worries or questions you may have.

  • Individual therapeutic support by professionals from the Bromley Wellbeing Service in central Bromley

  • Workshops to help develop your practical life skills

  • Workshops to help you think about your mental wellbeing and develop strategies for managing emotions

  • Leisure and social activities including outings and special events

  • Quarterly Young Carers Forum for you to share ideas and discuss ways to improve and develop the service we provide

  • Support for transition / changes in your life e.g moving to secondary school, changes in your caring role, preparing for adulthood

  • Drop-in sessions during the school holidays.
