Young Carer Grant
THE council is encouraging young carers to check if they are entitled to a grant.
Those aged between 16 and 18 can apply for the £300 payment if they are looking after someone for 16 hours a week or more.
To find out if you are eligible, visit www.mygov.scot/youngcarers or call 0800 182 2222.
