Hospital discharge grant to support unpaid carers
Unpaid carers aged 18+ could qualify for a grant if they are supporting someone in Leicestershire who has recently been discharged from hospital.
Carers often incur unexpected additional costs looking after a loved one, so they can now apply for a Leicestershire County Council funded hospital discharge grant which is available until 31 March 2024.
To qualify for this one-off grant, carers will need to show that the cared-for person:
• Lives in Leicestershire
• Has been discharged from hospital during the past four weeks (at the time of applying)
• Needs the carer for help and support to keep them safe
• Needs a level of support that has seen additional costs for the carer since the hospital discharge. This includes a loss of income due to taking time off work More »
Carers must apply within four weeks of the person they care for being discharged from hospital by completing the online application form on the Support for Carers website www.supportforcarers.org/what-we-offer/carer-support-hospital-discharge-grant. Alternatively, carers can call VASL on 01858 468543 or email maureen@supportforcarers.org and the team will complete the application form on their behalf.
Carers who received a grant from the previous round of funding can apply again to the 2023/24 grant fund if they meet the eligibility criteria – only one grant can be awarded to each carer.
