Upbeet Project

Young adult carers often have limited access to opportunities that others take for granted. Caring responsibilities can have a negative effect on their lives, including poor school attendance and attainment at school, in future education or in the work place. Poor social contact and negative health effects are also common.

The UPBEET project can help carers aged 16-21 years access confidential information and support in areas including person development, entitlement to benefits and CV/interview skills, as well as accessing flexible opportunities to combine education, training, or employment with their caring role.
