WG Respite Grant is now reopen for new applications.

West Glamorgan Short Breaks Grant Scheme

Who can apply?

All unpaid adult carers living in Swansea

What can I apply for?

Unpaid adult carers can apply for funding to pay for an activity or a service that provides a short break from the caring role to the maximum value of £300 (subject to availability and internal audit – a request for £300 will not always result in a grant offer of £300)

Examples of this might include:

Day trips

Overnight stays

A sitting service

A pass for the gym or an exercise class

Well-being activities

The Short Break Grant Scheme is funded by public money and may be audited independently. Your application and any subsequent verification provided may be included and scrutinised as part of any audit process. Submitting false, inaccurate, or misleading information on an application form to obtain grant funding is unlawful, and we may decide to take criminal action if you knowingly give false information.

Eligibility

Available only to unpaid carers – you may be asked to verify your caring role

Due to this grant being in high demand:

· You can only apply once

· We will not accept multiple applications from the same household or multiple people involved in the care of the same person

The grant must be used for its requested purpose. Please keep receipts of purchase for 2 years in case requested as part of audit.
