Eligibility Criteria
The fund will support all carers (including young carers aged 4-17) who are at risk of carer breakdown or experiencing significant stress, experiencing financial hardship, or are in urgent circumstances.
The maximum award will be £100.
Applicants must live permanently within Cornwall.
Applicants will complete an application process supported by a worker. Applicant’s details will be recorded on our case management system, Charity Log
Every carer awarded a grant will also be connected to a full assessment of carer need and the broader support available, improving long-term outcomes.
Funds will be paid directly into a carer’s (in the case of a carer under the age of 18, the parent/guardian’s) bank account, unless particular circumstances require assistance, when we can purchase items on behalf of the carer.
Receipts and feedback are required for awards made under this grant.
Completing your application form
Applications must give details of the impact of the caring role and explain how the grant will help reduce financial hardship.
Please list each item for which the grant is required.
Next steps
Once we have received your application, we will check that it meets the above criteria; your application will go before a grant panel, which will decide on its suitability for funding.
