VSA Aberdeenshire Young Carers Service

Do you look after someone who needs help and support due to an illness, disability, mental health problem, or substance misuse? If they could not manage without your support, and you’re not employed to do this, then you are a carer.

VSA's Aberdeenshire Young Carers Service supports children and young people who care for someone living in Aberdeenshire. The advantage of our information and support is that we are a locally based organisation. We have an in-depth understanding of the people of Aberdeenshire and take a localised approach to all our information and carers services. We are also network partners with the National Carers Organisations, Carers Trust and Coalition of Carers which keeps us briefed on all matters relating to unpaid carers.

If you are a young carer or wish to refer a young carer for support from this service, please complete online referral form or get in touch with our team who would be happy to help with any questions.
