Mick Coyle was joined by a local young carer, Darcy, who cared for her mum from the age of 8\. Darcy, from Dovecot, told Mick how she felt it was normal to look after her Mum at such a young age and to take on responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning instead of seeing her friends. Louise Wardale, Keeping the Family in Mind Co-ordinator, spoke about the work that Barnado's do to help young carers with various things including their mental health. Plus, Liverpool City Council's Cabinet Member for Children's Services, Cllr Barry Kushner, spoke about the work that the council do and the support that they can provide.
