Worcestershire Carer Support programme can help by providing a &pound;420 cash grant for items or services to make caring easier, or to give you a break so you can rest and recharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-is-eligible-for-a-grant\">Who is eligible for a grant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can apply for a grant if you can answer &ldquo;yes&rdquo; to ALL of the criteria
