Ten-year-old Lilly-Rose balances school and household chores as a young carer, finding breaks away to build confidence.
This story
Lilly-Rose lives in Wales with her mum, Laura, who lives with multiple chronic health conditions that affect her mobility. Lilly-Rose helps make meals, do laundry, and care for their pets before and after school, which sometimes leaves her feeling anxious or tired. Through residential respite breaks, she has had space to swim, play, and make friends with other young carers.
