If you would like any more information about the work we are doing for Anti-Bullying week, speak to Ms Robinson in Pastoral Care.
The Young Carer Grant is a £305.10 payment available on an annual basis for 16, 17 and 18 year olds who spend an average of 16 hours a week caring for someone who receives a disability benefit.
Young people who have already had a payment are able to apply again once a year has passed since they received their money. We are encouraging young carers to check if they are entitled to further awards, and apply again if they still meet the criteria.
You can check the links below to check eligibility criteria and for more information on applying.
