Even when they are, they don&#8217;t always get the help they need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Caring impacts not just your everyday life but also your dreams for the future, especially when you\u2019re not given the support you desperately need. It&#8217;s crucial for those in charge to take their responsibilities seriously, be held accountable, and stop thousands of young people falling through the cracks.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chairing the APPG for young carers at the time was former Sheffield Central MP, and patron at Sheffield young carers, Paul Blomfield. He has been pushing the issue and encouraged&nbsp; young carers to speak to Theresa May when she was prime minister.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheffield Young Carers works with a variety of organisations such as schools, local authorities and health care providers to access young carers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Nick, who felt strongly that more research should have been carried out before now by parliament into young carers, said: \u201cSo many are hidden. Maybe there is just a school student who doesn\u2019t want to do their homework and is always late but we need to think beyond that because there could be more behind that.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There has been an emphasis on organisations to recognise and support young carers to ensure no one falls through the cracks.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duncan Baker MP, chair of the inquiry and vice-chair of the APPG, said: \u201cIt\u2019s up to all of us to give these young people a better start in life so we also need local authorities, health providers, schools, employers, and regulators to join in and help young carers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheffield Young Carers received an overwhelmingly positive response from their campaign exceeding their initial \u00a34,400 target. Nick said: \u201cWe know how special our supporters are and how they really do back us.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt might sound a little bit crazy but to not be here would be our overall goal because you would hope that organisations would be able to offer that support without the need for us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The charity Sheffield Young Carers has raised over \u00a35,000 from their recent Christmas campaign to support young carers across the city. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":199,"featured_media":70443,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-long-reads","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
