Who are we and what do we do?

AYC Plus was set up in February 07 in order to support Young Adult Carers between the ages of 18-25, who have a role of care at home. That person could be unwell, frail, have a physical disability, have mental health problems, misuse drugs or alcohol.

You may not realise you are a carer, but if you think you might be then we are always ready to listen!

AYC Plus can provide both group and 1:1 support. We can signpost you to help and advice from other services. And we can offer you advocacy; we can speak to professionals on your behalf if you ask us to.

So, what’s in it for you?
