An award-winning play, Who Cares, co-produced by The Lowry in Salford and LUNG in partnership with Gaddum, will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on February 9.
The play, a verbatim theatre production, was made alongside young people and based on two years of interviews offering insight into the lives of young carers in Salford.
It aims to identify ‘hidden’ young carers in society and help them to find support available through local young carers services, as well as raise awareness.
It was written by Matt Woodhead and funded by Arts Council England, Curious Minds and the Oglesby Charitable Trust. It has also been adapted into a filmed educational resource for school.
