Community Solutions evaluation team have published a report on our Carer Breather fund. The purpose of this report is to share the impact of, and learning from, projects funded in Phase Two of the Carer Breather Fund.
Phase One of the Carer Breather Fund was established in 2021. Given the success of Phase One, additional funding was agreed for Phase Two, which completes in 2025.
The aim the Carer Breather fund is to enhance and extend regular and locally based support for carers, including:
- Those providing care but who do not necessarily wish to identify with a carers’ organisation
- Carers currently unknown to formal services
The Fund was set up to achieve the following outcomes for carers in North Lanarkshire:
- Carers feel more informed and aware
- Carers’ health and wellbeing is improved
- Carers are more able to have a life outside of caring
The report can now be accessed on the website here.
