FUNDING FOR YOUNG CARERS' ORGANISATIONS

EDM number 1533 in 2006-07, proposed by Diane Abbott on 22/05/2007.

That this House recognises the fundamental contribution made by the estimated 175,000 young carers in the UK who are looking after parents and other family members; notes that these young people are often undertaking a large amount of household and medical-care work whilst they are still in education and that they may well be under a lot of pressure and stress as a result; further notes the importance of young carers' organisations, which give them valuable support, advice and time off; recognises that these organisations rely on funding from the Carers Grant and the Children's Fund, both of which are due to be halted next March; and calls on the Government to ensure that the £334 million funding which will be moved from the Carers Grant and the Children's Fund into councils' children budgets will be ring-fenced for the benefit of young carers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 61 MPs.
