As of 31st July 2024, the Carer Wellbeing Fund grants are now closed. This is due to the ending of our existing contract with Gateshead Council to provide carer services in Gateshead. For more information on this, please read our latest news post.

The Carers Federation Limited has won the carers services contract and will launch a new Carer Wellbeing Fund scheme on 1st September 2024. This will have tighter eligibility criteria and a reduction in the amount of money available, meaning fewer people will receive a grant award.

Please contact Carers Federation Limited or Gateshead Council for more information.

If you have submitted an application for a grant before 31st July 2024, this will be processed by 16th August 2024 and you will be informed of the outcome of your application.
