Raising Achievement Centre The Raising Achievement centre is a supportive environment in which students are encouraged, motivated and inspired to do their best. We are here to ensure all students are provided with the best opportunities to succeed at Mark Rutherford. Young Carers A young or sibling carer is someone aged 18 or under who helps look after or is affected by a relative who has a condition such as a disability, illness, mental health condition, or a drug or alcohol dependency. Most young carers look after one of their parents or care for a brother or sister.
We also work very closely with the young carer’s team at Carers in Bedfordshire, who are a charity organisation which offers support to young people who help to care for a family member. They offer a range of clubs, residential trips, one to one support and bursaries. The Young Carer’s team will work with families to agree an individualised plan to ensure they get the support that suits their needs. For further information about this organisation, please see the links below. If you would like any further information or to discuss your personal situation, please do not hesitate to make contact via the school reception on 01234 290200 or Young.Carers@mrus.co.uk Young Adult Carers and Further Education If you are aged 16-25 and have a caring responsibility, you are considered to be a 'young adult carer'. There are approximately 375,000 young adult carers in the UK, all facing different challenges and responsibilities. If you provide regular care and support to a family member, partner or friend, you may be eligible to access additional support while studying. Below are just two of the many charities providing support, information and advice to young adult carers. The Carers Trust offers support to those who give unpaid care to a family member or friend - find out more at https://carers.org/ If someone in your family has a life-threatening illness, Hope Support Services can help. Visit their website to find out more or watch their video to find out how to contact them. You might be interested in watching Ben's story.
