Unpaid Carers “Short Breaks” Grant Scheme 2022/23
The Cardiff and Vale Regional Partnership Board in partnership with Cardiff Third Sector Council (C3SC) and Glamorgan Voluntary Services (GVS) have allocated £283,800 in total, to support unpaid carers with short breaks from their caring role. The Fund is administered by C3SC in partnership with GVS.
Development of this new Fund has been informed by research commissioned by Welsh Government in 2021, which you can find here.
The research sets out 12 key principles for short breaks which underpins the design and delivery of the Short Breaks Scheme and provides a framework for allocation of funding. The 12 principles and eligibility requirements are detailed in the attached guidance document.
