The Who Cares Campaign is calling on Parliament to improve services to young carers. Read more here.

The play, Who Cares, has been touring around the country for the last two years, visiting Folkestone Quarterhouse, Action Transport Theatre, Rosehill Theatre, CAST Doncaster, Arts Depot and many schools, youth zones and community settings. Who Cares is a gripping verbatim theatre production based on a year of interviews that offers a rare insight into a year in the lives of young carers from Salford. The play aims to help identify ‘hidden’ young carers in society and signpost them to support available through local young carers services. Who Cares, was written by Matt Woodhead and co-produced by The Lowry and LUNG. It was made in partnership with Salford Young Carers Service Gaddum Centre and is funded by Art Council England and the Oglesby Charitable Trust.

The play aims to help identify ‘hidden’ young carers in the UK – those who provide care under the radar of their friends, schoolteachers and local authorities - as well as signpost them to the support available. The tour also aims to provide resources for professionals that work with young carers on a daily basis by offering CPD training and workshops. Finally, the tour aims to generate political support for the Who Cares Campaign, encouraging audiences to pledge their support and sign our petition.
