On the 4th of August 2008 this Young Carers website was launched to the public.

This website was a collaborative project with the input of various service providers
  • Fuzz Illustration provided the graphics;
  • GraphiXD Sine provided the template graphics design;
  • WebQuest Direct provided project co-ordination.

The 13 Young Carers story examples were inspired by real life young carer stories.
