Aditya is a 17-year-old student at St Paul’s School in London and a dedicated young carer from Kingston upon Thames. He looks after his younger brother, who has severe autism, ADHD, and is non-verbal. His personal experiences have fuelled his passion for raising awareness about disability and the challenges faced by young carers.

Committed to driving change, Aditya has spoken on prominent public platforms, including the House of Lords and the Old Bailey, as well as on podcasts and radio interviews with the BBC and other media outlets. He has also contributed to an international Japanese documentary aimed at reducing stigma and increasing awareness of young carers’ struggles worldwide.

An aspiring economics student, Aditya hopes to leverage his knowledge to shape policies and decisions that improve the lives of young carers both in the UK and beyond. His ultimate goal is to create a more supportive and inclusive society for those who dedicate their lives to caring for loved ones.
