Sidekick - Action for Children
Do you help look after someone at home? Let us know how we could help!
Sidekick is a confidential and anonymous SMS service for young carers aged 13-18. You can text us any time, about anything that's bothering you as a young carer. We'll find you the answer you need and text you back within 24 hours.
*It’s free to text if you have free texts included in your mobile plan, and if not, it will cost the normal rate that you are charged by your mobile phone provider.
