Young caregiver

Do you care for someone at home?

Then you may be a young caregiver - even though it may feel quite normal to you.

For example, you care for a parent, brother or sister who is ill or needs help. You often worry, miss time for yourself or sometimes feel alone. Recognizable? Then you are not alone: 1 in 4 young people in the Netherlands is in such a situation. We prefer to call young informal caregivers co-makers; because young informal caregivers obviously make a lot possible. 

At Surplus, we are here for you.

We help young family caregivers with:

✅ Tips and info that suit you
✅ Fun activities to relax for a while
✅ Someone who really listens
✅ Confidential conversations, if you need them

Whether you are 10, 15 or 22: you are already doing a lot, you don't have to do it alone.
