Carers Social Action Support Fund

The Cabinet Office is inviting voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations to apply for grants of £50,000 or more to support projects that improve the lives of unpaid family carers.

The Carers Social Action Support Fund of up to £1million is part of the Centre for Social Action. The fund will be run by the Social Investment Business (on behalf of the Cabinet Office.

Organisations who are looking to build on, or adapt, inspiring social action projects for carers can apply for funding with successful organisations needing a strong track record of helping carers; enthusiasm for measuring the impact of their services; and the capacity to quickly build on existing services. They should also have a social mission or an objective to increase social action, or they should be involved in providing public services.
