Young Carers

Imago Young Carers is a social action charity working across Kent, Medway, East Sussex and London

In 2024 we celebrated 60 years of supporting people and communities across the South East. We are proud that our services support thousands of people to make positive changes and improve their lives.

We are a resilient and diverse organisation, focused on providing high quality services with consistency and care. With strong leadership and a dedicated, and skilled staff team, we are committed to creating opportunities and delivering the best support possible for some of the most vulnerable in our communities.

Helping young people to thrive.

We provide emotional and practical support for young carers, helping them to balance their caring responsibilities with being children.

We also offer services that support disabled children and their families, helping them to gain independence, learn new skills and have fun in a supportive space with others.

Young carers

Being a young carer can mean different things to different people. If you are under 18 and providing care, it's important to know that support is available. Find out how we can help. Click HERE

Young Carer Champions

We have three members of our pastoral team who are 'Young Carer Champions'. Mrs Booth, Mrs Bramwell and Mrs Liston. Please contact the school if you would like to talk to either of them regarding young carers.

Support in school

For young carer students, we run a weekly support club which is held every Wednesday, in the conference room. For period 4 lunch, 12:45-1:15pm this is with Mrs Liston and for period 5 lunch, 1:45-2:15pm this is with Mrs Booth.

We have also successfully ran two young carers trips which have been free of charge for the students due to the generous funding from the Langton Family Association (LFA).

We work very closely with Imago, the external young carers support team and they will come into school to speak with young carers, either in a group or 1:1 setting. Our allocated worker from Imago is Tina Culver.
