What we do

For many years, Kids has provided a service for young carers in the Fareham and Gosport area. This service will be ending at the end of July 2024.

We hope that an alternative provider can be found to continue the work we’ve been doing and to provide ongoing support to young carers. We will let you know as soon as we hear more information about that.

In the meantime, take a look at the services below that offer a wide range of support to young people across the region and nationally.

If you have any questions regarding young carers support in the area, please do get in touch with us and we’ll reply as soon as we can.

Our aim is to raise awareness of the diversity among people in our society and the wide range of issues which affect them whether these are disability, mental health, confidence or cultural issues, and to show that there is a role for everyone. Through volunteering young people get a chance to meet others, try new things and gain confidence! We meet every other

Support for Service Families

Until recently, with the generous support of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity, Kids provided additional support for young carers who have a close family member who is currently serving, or who has a service history, with the Royal Navy or the Royal Marines.

That project has now ended after supporting many young carers. We would like to thank the Royal Navy & Royal Marines charity for their support and their commitment to the wellbeing of young carers.
