We are currently on the look out for:

The group meets with workers from the Carers Federation as well as local Councillors, to feed back views and help shape key documents.
• Young carers aged 18 years or under who would like to form part of the youth branch of the Carers Reference Group to feed back views on the services available to them.
• Young people aged 24 years or under who would like to help design a project to improve youth health services in Nottingham- the project could be music, dance, drama- it’s a chance for you to be creative!
• Young people aged 24 years or under who would like to feed back their views on health services in Nottingham to help shape them for the better.
