What is Caithness KLICS?

Kids Living In Caring Situations

Caithness KLICS was established in 2013 due to the demand for support for Young Carers in Caithness. A young carer is a young person who cares, unpaid, for a person who has any type of physical or mental illness, physical and/or mental disability or misuses substances such as alcohol or drugs. Caithness KLICS support Young Carers from age 5-18 years old.

A Young Carer is a child that cares for a family member (a sibling, a parent or any other family member). A Young Carer has extra responsibilities and may do daily chores around the house, cook meals or go shopping, they could also pick up or administrate medication. They also can support a family member emotionally, for someone that suffers from ill mental health.

A young carer could even miss out on School or a social life due to the support they are giving a family member.

We are here to support the Young Carer, by giving them the time to focus on them so they can have Fun and be CHILDREN again
