On 9th February 2021, award-winning Who Cares will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 . Who Cares is a gripping verbatim theatre production which was made alongside young people and based on 2 years of interviews that offers a rare insight into the lives of young carers in Salford. The play aims to help identify ‘hidden’ young carers in society and signpost them to support available through local young carers services, as well as raise awareness amongst those who interact with young people on a daily basis.
Dramaturgy by Helen Monks.
Information and support can be found via www.whocarestour.org.uk. Who Cares was written by Matt Woodhead and co-produced by The Lowry and LUNG in partnership with Gaddum. Who Cares was funded by Arts Council England, Curious Minds and the Oglesby Charitable Trust.
