The Dukes, in collaboration with LUNG Theatre and Barnardo’s Lancashire Young Carers Service, are working to share Young Carer’s stories and highlight the challenges they may face.

This year-long project, funded by the Victoria Wood Foundation, aims to foster in-depth creative relationships and share the voices of care-experienced young people, and young carers.

It is aimed at developing creative skills and confidence of young carers from low socio-economic backgrounds, building relationships with their local theatre, and offering respite from their caring duties.
