#FairFuturesForYoungCarers
Yesterday, to mark #youngcarersactionday, I joined Young Carers from Barnet, Suffolk and Manchester at Downing Street.
We took 15,000 postcards with a message to the PM from young carers from across the country: we need more support in schools to balance learning with our caring role.
To mark #YoungCarersActionDay yesterday, I met with a really impressive group of young people to listen to how they are campaigning for proper support in schools for young carers, and the need for more funding so they don’t miss out on education because of their responsibilities at home.
Young Carers Action Day 2026 Fair Futures for Young Carers Lets make sure every young carer has the same chances to learn, grow and thrive as their peers. Save the date - Wednesday 11 March
Today is #YoungCarersActionDay and the theme is 'Fair Futures for Young Carers’. Every young carer deserves a Fair Future - and the chance to reach their full potential.

Young carers do so much for others, they deserve recognition, support, and the opportunity to fulfil their potential beyond their caring role.

Today is #YoungCarersActionDay and Reception have been learning a bit about young carers. They did their best colouring on their young carers pictures.
Great to see Carers Trust sharing this video featuring our recent inspired:arts textiles project at Enfield Carers Centre.
Creative spaces give young carers a chance to connect, express themselves and take a break from responsibility.

There are so many young people quietly carrying responsibilities that most adults would find overwhelming.
Looking after a parent.
Supporting a sibling.
Helping hold a household together.

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 (under 18) help care for someone, usually a family member, who can't manage alone.
They bear a lot of responsibility. We want to ensure they have the same opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive as their peers.
