Winchester Young Carers is an independent charity which provides a service for Young Carers aged 8-17 throughout the Winchester District.
>If you are a young carer but do not live within the Winchester District there is a list of other Hampshire projects here.<
We are based in Winnall, at King Alfred's Youth Activity Centre (KAYAC), which has the convenience of having our office and clubs under the same roof.
