Fife Young Carers (FYC) have recently released their impact report for the period 2024 - 2025. The report goes into the effects of carers' responsibilities on the wellbeing of young people, including details around:
- Poorer mental and physical health than peers without caring responsibilities
- Challenges in participating in social activities and feelings of isolation as a result
- Difficulty balancing their responsibilities with education and employment
- A desire for greater provision of support for their cared-for person
Also mentioned in the report, and recently launched, is Fife Young Carers - Positive Destinations project.
Through Positive Destinations FYC builds on existing supports by enabling:
- Employment opportunities and connections with employers
- Networking to explore job options
- Tailored 1:1 support based on personal interests
- Personal development: job/apprenticeship/ college applications
