Application Form for Young Carers Package

From cinema tickets to first aid training, young carers can now access a special range of opportunities - totally for free! If you’re 11-18 and helping to care for a family member, friend or someone in your community, you're eligible for the Young Scot Young Carers Package.

As you are under 12, you won't be able to access the package through a Young Scot Membership account but if you complete this online form, and you are eligible, we will send you the offers by email and post.

Remember, on your 12th birthday you can create your Young Scot Membership account at membership.young.scot then re-apply for the Young Carers Package and enjoy a fresh batch of offers!
