Details

This funding is for projects that will improve the health of unpaid carers, by supporting work that both:

• reduces the unfair and avoidable differences in health for unpaid carers (these are called health inequalities)
• addresses the root cause of the long-term problems, not just the symptoms (this is called systems change)

By unpaid carers this means adults or children who look after a relative, friend or neighbour. They might look after someone due to a disability, illness, mental health condition or addiction.

Your project must reduce health inequalities by working towards systems change. It should aim to:

• support carers during changes in their role
• make it easier to identify and support carers
• improve support for carers who face extra barriers
• change how care is understood and valued
