Young carer Becca, 10, helps to look after her mum who has Fibromyalgia. The family, via the Carers’ Centre, were approached by the Comic Relief team who wanted to make a short film to capture what life is like for young carers — and we think they did brilliantly!
We are incredibly proud of Becca and all our young carers and hope this video can shed a little bit of light on what it’s like for young carers living in Britain today.
The film highlights the difference between Becca’s day and the day of one of her friends, Izzy, who isn’t a young carer.
As a thank you Comic Relief took Becca and her family to watch Blue Peter live!
