The Carers Trust and Young Carers Alliance have published the results of their survey of Young Carers and Young Adult Carers. The survey found that many Young Carers and Young Adult Carers feel overlooked and struggle to find time for themselves, and spoke about the mental toll that is placed on them because of their caring responsibilities. Young Carers also feel that they are not understood or heard by politicians.
