Billie-Jo

Available for over a year

Billie-Jo has had to care for her family since the age of 5. But she didn't actually realise she was a young carer until she was a teenager. Now she wants to raise awareness, as it can be isolating and stressful. Yungblud and Billie-Jo chat about what it was like growing up as a young carer and how she balances it while training to become a car mechanic (and being the only girl on her course!) Details of organisations offering information and support on a range of issues are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline.
