Who Cares on BBC Radio 4

On 9th February 2021, award-winning Who Cares will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 . Who Cares is a gripping verbatim theatre production which was made alongside young people and based on 2 years of interviews that offers a rare insight into the lives of young carers in Salford. The play aims to help identify ‘hidden’ young carers in society and signpost them to support available through local young carers services, as well as raise awareness amongst those who interact with young people on a daily basis.

Information and support can be found on this website. Who Cares was written by Matt Woodhead and co-produced by The Lowry and LUNG in partnership with Gaddum. Who Cares was funded by Arts Council England, Curious Minds and the Oglesby Charitable Trust. 

Who Cares has also been adapted into a filmed education resource for school, which will be released in schools in Summer 2021 . If you are interested in learning more or using the resource within your school then sign up via our Google Form here.

The Who Cares Campaign, launched in 2019, has also been working throughout the pandemic to support young carers and more information on how you can help can be found via: www.whocarescampaign.co.uk
