Grants and Carers

If you are a carer, financial and other support might be available from a charitable fund, if you meet its qualifying rules.

What types of charitable funds might help carers?

Examples of charitable funds that might help carers include those that support people:

• Who work or have worked in particular jobs or industries.

• Are affected by a particular health condition.

• An educational charity that helps families on low incomes pay for school trips or outings.

• A charitable trust attached to a water or electricity company.  See our Energy schemes guide for more details.
