Lilac background. NUM and Youth Justice logos sit in the corner. Green text reads, "Young Carers Action Day, Wednesday 11th March. In a study done by National Ugly Mugs, 1 in 3 respondents reported caring responsibilities (2024). In 2024, our data showed that 47.7% of NUM members were young adults (18 - 30 years old). Young carers are often missed out of key conversations that impact them, which is why NUM is fully supportive of the young carers action day. NUM calls for better support for young carers, including appropriate recognition, providing opportunities and greater access to resources."
Young Carers Action Day📣
Young carers are too often excluded from vital conversations. Stand with us in demanding greater recognition and support, and ensuring that young carers have the same opportunities to thrive as other young people.
