THE CARERS COMPANION: A DAILY SIDEKICK FOR YOUNG CARERS

Hi! Welcome to the new website for The Carers Companion, a full support guide for young carers, and the best part, it is absolutely free! If you are a young carer, maybe you work with young carers, or maybe you are simply curious, then welcome! Find out a little more about me, your trusty support guide!

About the Author

MEET TASHA!

As a young child I was always conjuring up stories and filling them with colorful characters, sharing them with anyone and everyone who would listen. I always hoped I would become an author, but after losing my dad to cancer at age 3, and becoming a young carer for my mum at just 8 years old, this idea went far off track. 
My writers streak never ended, and though life took over for a while, inside of me was still an author buzzing away, screaming to get out! Finally it did!

Though the book is not the fairytale I once imagined I would publish, it is a life changing book just the same. Where as children look up to princesses and princes, some children are looking up to carers and the work they are doing!

Children as young as 5 are supported up and down the UK, for their full time caring roles! Though we cannot fix their situation entirely, a simple support guide, like The Carers Companion, can offer them a 24hr worry network, friend, teacher, support and many other things! It may be paper, but those moments of confusion are tough, and what seems simple to the eye of the unknown, is priceless to the eye of the beholder <3

Taking on the world... and the sky!

DEC 29 2017

I’ve been working on this latest edition of the guide for quite some time now, and can’t wait for you all to read and learn from it. What started as a side project to my studies soon turned into a fascinating adventure which I couldn’t stop thinking about or writing. I continued to work hard at it, and knew just how important it was to ensure young people were given the chance to improve their own lives for themselves. After all, you give a man a fish and you feed him for a day but if you teach the man to fish you feed him for a lifetime! Get in touch and let me know what you think, every comment and every message means so much to me and helps me to develop the book even further to helping others!
With love, Tasha xx
