Further details of a £4.4million scheme to support unpaid carers has been released. The grant scheme, entitled the Support for Carers Fund, will be administered and managed by Community Foundation NI and will be open to community and voluntary sector organisations with charitable purposes offering support to carers and operating within Northern Ireland. Health Minister Robin Swann said: I am delighted to announce £4.4m which will provide support for charities working for and with unpaid carers in recognition of the significant impact that Covid-19 has had on them and those they care for. Unpaid carers are the backbone of society, supporting and caring for many that may otherwise struggle without that help.
