This week’s move is to Lean on others when necessary.

This move is designed to remind people that it’s okay to lean on someone else for advice, support and to help you through the tough times.

Camilla Ball, young carers support worker, said: “Sometimes things can get overwhelming, you shouldn’t feel like you have to deal with stuff on your own.

“A problem shared is a problem halved, so it’s good to talk about your problems with someone you feel you can trust.

“Try not to be too proud or ashamed to say you’re struggling; I’ve found there are people out there that genuinely want to help.

“Actually, I’ve found that people who help out get a lot out of it as well, they feel useful and feel good about supporting you.

“It’s a win-win thing.”
