Extended Term Funding of £31,200 has been awarded to Crossroads Young Carers by the Manx Lottery Trust, as delegated partner of the Big Lottery Fund UK, to enable start up of  Young Adult Groups  specifically for the age range 16 to 24 years.

Young Carers is an established project which supports children and young people who provide care, assistance or support to another family memeber, who may have chronic illness or a disability.These young people carry out substantial or significant caring tasks and assume a level of responsibility normally associated with an adult. This new initiative aims to give support to young adults beyond the age of 18 and help transition into adulthood through various activities.
