Thanks for satisfying my curiosity, Eddie ! Sounds like you have a good son there. I know there are local groups around the country especially for young carers who can sometimes feel very isolated and feel that their peers do not understand what it is like being a carer. I know many young carers find these groups a real life saver. And people who get involved in these groups get to know about other local help thats available. Oh and group members get involved in trips and lots of fun stuff too !
The Carers UK Advice Line should be able to put you, or you son, in touch with any local Carers groups / Young Carers Groups, Tel 0808-808-7777, or you can find local resources via "Finding Help Where You Live" on the left of the Carers UK Homepage.
All the best,
Robert
