Young Carers Action Day 11th March 2026

Young Carers Action Day is an annual Carers Trust initiative is a vital opportunity to recognise the contribution of young carers and to highlight the importance of ensuring they have equal access to education, wellbeing support and future opportunities.

This year’s theme, Fair Futures, focuses on equity of opportunity – recognising the strengths young carers develop while addressing the barriers they may face, and supporting them to thrive.

Across Dorset, partners are working together to raise awareness and celebrate young carers. Below, MYTIME Young Carers share how they are marking the day and supporting young carers across Dorset and BCP.
