Carers Grants

Carer Support Fund South East Wales

Torfaen County Borough Council are offering one off grants to unpaid carers who live in Torfaen to help with the cost-of-living crisis. 

A carer can be anyone, of any age, who provides unpaid care and support to a relative, friend or neighbour who is disabled, physically or mentally ill, or affected by substance misuse.

Categories that can be applied for:

• Food grant
• Small energy saving household appliance (microwave, air fryer or slow cooker)
• Clothing
• Mobile phone

Apply

The Grant will be open during June, August, October and December (until funding is fully utilised). When the grant is open, it will be advertised on our Adult Carers Facebook page.

To avoid over-subscription, we have a set funding allocation for grant launch. When we reach our allocation the grant scheme will be closed until the next planned month.

NOTE: If you have received a grant from Torfaen County Borough Council since June 2024, you will not be eligible to reapply.
