Funding help for young carers
Young carer’s personal budget
You can apply for funding if you are under 18 and the person you care for is an adult.
This is a one-off sum of money towards the cost of something specific that will support you.
This could be:
- educational resources
- leisure/respite activities
- something to keep you healthy and active
Get in touch with East Sussex Young Carers for more information and a needs assessment.
