The National Lottery Community Fund - Supporting Change: Carers
Details
This funding is for projects that will reduce health inequalities for unpaid carers, through systems change, i.e. making meaningful and lasting changes to the way things work.
Your project must reduce health inequalities that unpaid carers experience.
You must show TNLCF how you’ll:
- make long-term changes to the systems that affect unpaid carers’ health
- involve people with experience of care in influencing these changes.
- particularly, how you'll help unpaid carers have more control over decisions that affect their health and wellbeing.
- work with other organisations use learning and evidence to inform your project.
They know that many people do not see themselves as unpaid carers. We're particularly interested in projects that reach these people, e.g.:
- parents that care for a child with additional support needs or disabilities
- older people that care for their partner
- people that care for someone with an addiction
- young carers
- LGBTQ+ carers
- ethnically minoritised carers
