Fife Young Carers SCIO

About

Fife Young Carers SCIO is a charity for Young and Young Adult Carers. The focus of all employees and volunteers of the charity is to provide person-centred, tailored support, keeping Young and Young Adult Carers at the heart of everything we do and striving to empower them to reach their full potential, overcome barriers and stigma, and achieve a quality of life that is comparable with their peers. The support provided to individual Young Carers and Young Adult Carers is created from a menu of support options including respite breaks, one-to-one support, advice, advocacy, befriending, family support and training to those who have significant caring responsibilities. Since 2022 we have also provided bought services such as counselling and art therapy. In addition, we aim to increase awareness of Young Carer and Young Adult Carers issues, to support and encourage identification of their needs and support the development of resources.
