UK Government Allocates £22.6 Million to Support Unpaid Carers Through Innovative Projects

The funding aims to improve carers' well-being with technology, arts programs, and increased financial support across England.

The £22.6 million investment will fund 123 local projects to assist unpaid carers, focusing on technology, digital tools, and flexible care models.
Initiatives include remote monitoring systems in Bath and Worcestershire to provide carers with more flexibility and reduce hospital readmissions.
Lincolnshire will offer arts, heritage, and nature workshops for carers and those they care for, providing therapeutic breaks and creative outlets.
London's 'Think Carer' campaign will provide health checks, counseling, and resources to help carers maintain their well-being.
The government also announced an increase in Carer’s Allowance and additional funding for adult social care in 2025/26 to strengthen the care system.
