Two years ago, Elise became the primary carer for her fiancé’s brother Luke, who has Down Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy.

'Sometimes, being a carer means balancing caring responsibilities with other aspects of life.'

'Our situation is one that always evolves, so each week isn’t the same'

'I’ll say I’m a young carer but I don’t really identify with it, I’m just a sister looking after my brothers.'
