Be Free Young Carers – a proudly independent Oxfordshire charity leading the way in championing young carers.
They create real, lasting change for children and teenagers aged 8 – 17 who care for loved ones. Their support helps them rediscover their childhood, build confidence, and thrive.
Everything They do starts with people.
They build strong, personal relationships with our young carers, their families, schools, and local communities as well as with our team, volunteers, and partners. Many of their volunteers bring lived experience, and they work in a culture that welcomes everyone to show up as their full selves.
Their mission is to enable Oxfordshire Young Carers to achieve their full potential by delivering a far-reaching developmental and emotional support network of people and resources in their daily lives, schools and communities.
