Personal budgets
A personal budget is a one-off payment available to eligible carers where there are specific needs identified to help support you in your caring role.
The offer of a personal budget for carers will depend on your own personal circumstances. This will be determined following your conversation with us to identify what your needs are as a carer, and specifically how a personal budget can be used to support you to look after your own health and wellbeing.
Some examples of where a personal budget may be offered to eligible carers may include:
- Equipment to help with your caring role
- One-off activities, items, or services to specifically support carer mental and physical wellbeing
- College or training courses
- Helping carers back to work
If you wish to discuss your needs as carer, please contact us
