Kernow Young Carers Update
As providers of the new Kernow Young Carers service, Barnardo’s is delighted to be supporting young carers in Cornwall over the coming years. We are currently arranging our summer activity programme and will be contacting people as soon as we are able to and advise them of the opportunities available.
The new service is now different and unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate everyone who may wish to take part in an activity this summer.
We are working hard with our partners in the wider Cornwall Carers Service with implementation of this new work. We would ask that you bear with us during the transition stage of the new service as waiting times for contact are currently longer than we would wish.
Further information can be obtained by contacting the Advice Line on 01736 756655
