“I am incredibly grateful for all that the YCDT have done for me. I would not have achieved all that I have without their support.” Alise, young carer for her mother since she was 11, has just finished her first year at Oxford University
On average young carers achieve the equivalent of 9 lower GCSE grades than their peers
Young Carers without support like YCDT’s are 4x more likely to drop out of university or college
I struggled initially to get to university…(My DM) ensured that I carried on with the path I had planned and ensured that I stayed determined to achieve what I could.
Young carers are 3x as likely to be ‘not in Education Employment or Training’ (NEET)
“There is honestly no way I could have done this without your support” Scarlett, 18, triple distinction BTEC Health and Safety, UWE
(My DM) got tutors to help me in specific subjects and, without the help and support from him, I probably would not have got the grades I wanted. The Trust saw a potential in me.
A young carer misses 48 days (10 weeks) of the school year on average due to their caring role
