TYKES Young Carers' Project, established in 1997, offers respite and support to young people between the ages of 5 and 25 in Sutherland who have a caring role within their home. We make a positive difference in the lives and wellbeing of Young Carers and their families by offering advice along with emotional and practical support. TYKES advocates for Young Carers and raises awareness of their issues by engaging with the community, statutory agencies and other organisations.

 

TYKES gives each Young Carer the opportunity to take a break from their caring role in a friendly and supportive environment.
