Important
This fund is to benefit you as a young carer. We cannot pay for breaks that:
- are for the person you care for (respite care for example)
- statutory services should provide
- or that you are able to fund yourself.
To benefit from the fund, you must be:
- attending school
- and under 18.
We give priority to people who have not been given funding previously.
Before you start...
Have some information ready! We will ask you about the break you're proposing, including:
- a description of it
- when and where you'll take the break
- how much it will cost
- the difference it will make for you.
We will also ask for contact details of a professional person who supports you or the person you care for.
What you can apply for
You can apply for anything that will give you a break from caring. This could include:
- a subscription to a TV, movie or music channel
- a visit to Granny
- outdoor activities or sports equipment
- IT equipment, such as a tablet or Kindle
- a cinema or Ryze pass
- a contribution to driving lessons.
Any other ideas, please describe them on the form.
