of caring by children is much higher than had been thought, with 22% of children who responded to a questionnaire identifying as junk areas. the 2011 census only identified a lower number of care is between five and i7. lower number of care is between five and 17. angela was a child to a family member with paranoid schizophrenia and is now a young aduu schizophrenia and is now a young adult carer. welcome, it is good to see you. when you look back at those teenage years when you are a young carer, what with the biggest challenges you faced? definitely balancing my college life and being at home and having to manage finances in the home. so the king after my own well—being whilst doing those things at the same time was definitely challenging —— and after. there was no specific point but mostly towards my exams and having the pressure of exams and going back home and having to face what i had

to face at home. where could you look for more help if you needed it? so, it was more friends and family at the time but because we are quite at the time but because we are quite a close knit family, it was very ha rd to a close knit family, it was very hard to step out and speak to someone about it. a lot of the things that happened, i kept it to myself for a long period of time before speaking about it and that was not until i graduated from university. you mentioned the managing finances. how was that? university. you mentioned the managing finances. how was that7m was not so bad because we all like a bit of money! yes, we do! it was making sure we were paid up the right time and it was the right amount, without forgetting if it is not paid within a certain time, there will be fees and fines and might have to pay. sometimes you forget as a young person because thatis forget as a young person because that is not your responsibility so a lot of times i would forget and had to call up lot of times i would forget and had to callup and lot of times i would forget and had to call up and make sure there is an

extension and i can make sure it has been agreed in the moment of time. these are challenges most contemporaries of yours at that time would not have been facing at all. no, most of my friends around the time of college were thinking of university or going partying because they want to go to college. for me, there was always another level of me being overwhelmed by looking after a family member. especially one that has paranoid schizophrenia, which is different from anxiety and depression or even bipolar disorder. what you think you had to give up in that time that you might otherwise have done? i think it was more getting close to friends. so i thought i had friends at the time. i guess i was still trying to figure out my real friends at the time and for me, how do i open up to people who might not necessarily accept what i'm about to tell them? and thinking about the rejection and might receive as result of opening

up might receive as result of opening up about my family home life. despite this challenges, as you indicated, you went on to university. what was happening at that point in terms of the caring responsibilities you presumably still had? it was not so much because i was away, i lived away from home. and in my final year, my first term was at university. at home, sorry. that is when it became difficult. it was more that i could run away from it when i was at university. when i was back home, it was in my face and i could not physically get my work done because of the responsibilities i had. looking after someone's well—being is far more challenging than looking after my own well—being which is ha rd after my own well—being which is hard for anybody. and presumably, there are moments when you did walk away and it was still in your mind. you were still worried. i used to pushit you were still worried. i used to push it to the back of my mind. but i would always be thinking about it at the same time. in lectures, i would be daydreaming and thinking about what is going on at home

rather than focusing on my studies. what about now in terms of not only is you and i are talking to you are reflecting on that period, but some of the things you have done now to raise awareness of this issue, what sort of things have you done?” started a social enterprise which is basically a creative arts academy to help people and young people from 13 to 25 with experience of mental health to express themselves through creative arts. through my tough times, my way of expressing myself us times, my way of expressing myself us through dance and leaving university and caring for a family member, i wanted to put the two passions together and i became very passionate about mental health. i am sharing my story of being a carer and showing and telling young people how they get support, also using what they already have, their gifts and talents and creating coping mechanisms for themselves. and how

much interest has there been from the young people you are targeting? there has been a lot. i has been running it since 2016 and a lot of people have been interested. i work full—time as well so it was, how do we find time to manage both or do i quit myjob and work on this full time? it is necessary. it could be getting to the point where that is a serious decision to turn this into a full—time exercise? yes. in terms of the numbers, we have heard this report today that more than one fifth of children, teenage age children are involved in some sort of caring, does that surprise you? it was not at all. a lot of the time, young people like myself would hide this side of their life because we don't want people, they don't wa nt to we don't want people, they don't want to be mollycoddled burst. and also, they don't want people to feel sorry for them so people would hide it. i'm not surprised at all because i know in my culture, something like this, you would not dare to speak

about, it is something you just have to do and you are built to do. knowing that there are so many young people and children facing this, it is not a surprise. it is about time we took action and we put carers at the forefront of these issues and funding because we need the help. the forefront of these issues and funding because we need the helpm is very good to meet you, thank you very much, angela. let's look at the weather forecast now, sarah is here. good evening. some cloud and rain at at times and the weather stays dry in the south and east. the north west and south east split continues overnight. some showery rain across northern ireland tonight, scotland, north west england. elsewhere, likely to stay mostly dry. not as cold as it was last night, temperatures just into single figures in rural areas with more of a breeze to keep the temperature is up. by day, a band of rain affects parts of northern
