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

📢 Meet Thomas, a young carer from Scotland. He cares for his mum and grandpa while managing his own diabetes. It can be stressful, and he doesn’t always get time for football, something he loves. In this video, Thomas shares his experience and advice for other young carers.

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.

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.
