The owner of this footwear is a child about your
age

• This child is a young carer
• Lots of children are helpful. They
• help their Mum or Dad with things
• like making the tea, washing up or
• gardening. But some families need
• their children to do a lot to help them
• because someone in the family is
• disabled or ill for a long time. Young
• carers help relatives with things like
• getting up, getting washed, taking
• medication or staying safe.
