Changing the odds in favour of young people

Details: About Young Devon

Established in 1949, Young Devon is a progressive charity that exists to "change the odds in favour of young people". Challenging negative stereotypes and campaigning shoulder-to-shoulder with young people, Young Devon's primary objective is to enhance lives and promote opportunity for those least likely to have their voices heard.

Young carers need help to cope with the changes in their lives, and to develop their skills and confidence. It might be practical questions about how to get the services that they need; help with accessing services and opportunities; more choice, influence and control; or just having someone to talk to Bright Futures will help young carers and young adult carers get the skills, confidence and help that they need to manage transition and change, build their resilience and improve their future life chances.
