Gower MS welcomes new support package for unpaid carers

6/12/2021

 
Welsh Labour’s Member of the Senedd for Gower, Rebecca Evans MS, has welcomed a new £7m package of support for unpaid carers, in recognition of the vital support they provide to the people they care for.
 
The new support package will allocate £5.5 million to local authorities to provide targeted support to unpaid carers, while allocating £1.25m for the Carers Support Fund, which last year successfully helped almost 6500 unpaid carers to cope with the financial impact of Covid 19. £20,000 is being provided to fund online mental wellbeing support sessions, alongside £230,000 for the Family Fund to support over 600 further low-income families with seriously ill or disabled children.
 
The Welsh Government previously committed £3 million in 2021-22 to allow more carers to take a break from their caring role, bringing the total additional funding support for unpaid carers this year to £10 million.
 
Welcoming the fund, Rebecca Evans MS said:
  
“Having been an unpaid carer myself for a number of years when I was younger, I know that the physical and emotional impact that caring can at have. With the additional challenges of caring during these difficult times it’s vital that we continue to improve the help and support that is available to our unpaid carers.”
