Today is Young Carers Action Day 2025! This year’s theme from Carers Trust Scotland, “Give Me A Break”, highlights two vital ways we can support young carers; a break from caring and a break in life. #YoungCarersActionDay #GiveMeABreak #SupportYoungCarers

Young carers from South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership are at the Scottish Parliament, ready to kick off Young Carers Action Day! Their voices matter, and today, we’re standing with them to say: #GeezaBreak! 💙 #YoungCarersActionDay


This #YoungCarersActionDay, we're not only celebrating all the amazing young carers we work with but we're also raising awareness about how important it is for young carers to have enough rest and respite 🧡 #GeezaBreak SYCSA Carers Trust Scotland Carers Trust





Day 2 of #YCAD began with an inspiring outside Scottish Parliament, where young carers gathered to share their voices! They were joined by First Minister John Swinney and Minister for Public Health & Women’s Health, Maree Todd in a show of support. #YoungCarers Scottish Government #GeezaBreak


💙 Further to #YoungCarersActionDay yesterday, I was pleased to speak with young carers from Angus at Holyrood today for a debate to mark this annual Carers Trust campaign. 🗣️ Discussed access to apprenticeships among other topics. Angus Carers Centre provide invaluable support locally

Smiles, solidarity and strength! Our incredible young carers coming together to celebrate #YCAD. Their voices matter, and today, they’re making sure they’re heard! #YoungCarers #ScotParl Carers Gateway South Ayrshire #GeezaBreak


I met with a number of kids involved with Carers Gateway South Ayrshire on #YoungCarersActionDay. Many are responsible for significant hours of care every single day without a break and limited support. We must do more to help them.


Wonderful news! Scottish Government commits to the #YoungCarersCovenant, recognising young carers' vital role. 💙👏 #YoungCarersActionDay #GeezaBreak John Swinney Maree Todd


It’s #YoungCarersActionDay this week. So we’re delighted to see the surge in political support for the Young Carers Covenant with the Scottish Govt becoming the first Govt in the UK to sign. Find out more: bit.ly/3FFqMer Scot Gov Health

Many student carers could be eligible for financial support from Social Security Scotland. Social Justice Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville visited Edinburgh College with Carers Trust Scotland this morning. She heard from young people about how they balance studying with their caring role.
