NHS Bedfordshire have provided a grant to support young carers. Young Carers under the age of 18 can apply for a grant of up to £200 towards a service that benefit and enhance their wellbeing.
What can the grant be spent on?The grant can be used flexibly to help fund something that the young carer feels will improve their health or wellbeing such as:
Fun Activities
A day trip
Taking up a hobby
Joining a club
A school trip
Or anything that you feel will improve your health or wellbeing
Training
The Young Carers Grants cannot be used for something that would normally be funded by health or social care.
