We provide grant funding opportunities designed to enhance carers’ wellbeing and financial stability. Our funds offer much-needed support, whether it’s through enabling a well-deserved break or assisting with essential costs.
Wee Breaks Fund
The Wee Breaks Fund provides unpaid carers with opportunities to take a break from their caring responsibilities. This fund is available to carers who support someone living in Edinburgh or Midlothian. Breaks can vary from a few hours to longer periods, depending on individual needs and preferences. Examples include funding for leisure activities, short holidays, or therapeutic treatments.
Midlothian Carer Assistance Fund
The Midlothian Carer Assistance Fund provides one-off grants to carers in Midlothian to help manage the costs associated with their caring role. This financial support aims to alleviate some of the financial pressures carers may face by providing support with specific caring-related expenses, such as travel to appointments, increased energy bills, or the purchase of specialist equipment.
