Grants are available to support and encourage local voluntary sector organisations to deliver small events or activity focusing on unpaid adult carers which take place around Carers Week 2025.

Supported by the Active Richmond Fund and OneRichmond, Richmond Carers Centre is offering grants of between £500 to £800 for the delivery of events or activities during or around Carers Week 2025 (9-15 June).

They are seeking to fund activity which promotes social inclusion, reduces social isolation and combats loneliness. They also want to support the celebration and recognition of unpaid carers within your organisational reach. 

You could offer a taster session, a trip, a creative experience, a new opportunity for unpaid carers to get together and be heard, or something else.

Applications will be assessed upon receipt. Those with a physical activity or healthy eating element will be given priority. 

Application is by a short online form which will be available until Friday 23 May 2025 or until all funds have been allocated. A Word version of the form is also available.

It is estimated that between 10 – 16 organisations will be supported.

Organisations receiving the award will be expected to complete a brief monitoring report.
