Young Carers: A Life in Focus
Posted on

Do you know a young carer in the UK?
The RPS and Action for Children are encouraging young carers in the UK to join a brand-new nationwide photography project.
Open to all young carers across the UK, the charities who share HRH The Duchess of Cambridge as a Patron are asking all young carers to get creative, to photograph what’s important to them in their lives, and learn a fantastic new skill along the way.
Photography is a great way to share thoughts, emotions, interests and life experiences. Through a series of exciting and innovative workshops led by professional photographer Jo Bradford, young carers will learn how to take unique images on their mobile phone, device or camera. Selected entries will form a nationwide photography exhibition later in the year.
Action for Children supports over 3,700 children and young people who are young carers across the UK, giving them advice and respite through short breaks, activities, and the chance to connect with other young carers.
If you are or know, a young carer in the UK, we encourage you to get involved and share your photographs. To find out more visit rps.org/lifeinfocus.
