Young Carers Survey

Overview

We want to hear from you about the future of our Young Carers Support Service in Kingston and Richmond. The current service contracts will end in June 2026, so we’re planning what happens next - your views are really important to us.

More children and young people are taking on caring roles, and councils across the country are facing tough financial times. Your feedback can help us shape the best possible support for Young Carers in our boroughs.

You can read more about the wider Young Carers Offer on the Local Offer website.

Have your say

We want to make sure that we are providing the best services to Young Carers and their families who use the Young Carers Support Service. This engagement is about listening to your experiences and using your feedback to help make our Young Carers Service offer as good as possible.

By sharing your thoughts, you’ll help us to shape a service that supports Young Carers in Kingston and Richmond to live healthy, happy lives.

If you have any questions, or need any of the information in a different format or translated, please get in touch with us by emailing engagement@kingston.gov.uk or call the council's contact centre on 020 8547 5000, and ask for a member of the engagement team to call you back.

What happens next

Your views will help us understand what support Young Carers and their families need most. This will guide how we plan and fund the service from July 2026 onwards, making sure it works for the people who need it.

Findings of this engagement activitywill be published on the Local Offer website.
