A fresh take on support co-created by you
Yucan is a youth and lived experience-led organisation that supports young carers from East London with well-being school programmes, 1:1 mentoring, care packages and respite opportunities.
Our Mission
To ensure that all young carers and young people with ongoing responsibilities are recognised, assisted and championed, particularly those who are from social, minority ethnic and under-resourced communities.
Our Vision
Our vision is for a society to recognise the strength and fragility of all young carers, and through changes in law and policy, young carers would receive support in schools, their communities and home life effectively.
Words from our founder Sanyu Musoke
“Becoming a young carer forced me to mature faster than my peers. You often hear of the strength of taking on such a responsible role, but nothing on the fragility of being a young person balancing such weight.”
Sanyu Musoke Founder and CEO of YUCAN
