NHS Bedfordshire have provided a grant to support unpaid carers who have a long standing health condition or whose health is affected by their caring role. Carers can apply for a grant of up to £200 towards a service that benefits their health and wellbeing.
What can the grant be spent on?
The grant can be used flexibly to help fund something that the carer feels will improve their health or wellbeing such as:
Private counselling
A short break
A holiday
Chiropractor
Holistic treatments
Private doctor
Joining a gym
Training
A Daytrip
The Carers Grants cannot be used for something that would normally be funded by health or social care.
