Being a parent carer can bring many extra costs and it is not always easy to know what support is available. Whether you're new to claiming benefits or simply want to check that you're not missing out on any help, this friendly and informal session is for you.

A few weeks ago, carers voted for the topics they would most like to learn about. We've brought together the three most popular themes into one session.

We'll also look at:

Benefits and financial support available for families

Grants and one-off payments that many families don't know about

Help with energy costs and household bills

Carer discounts and concession schemes

Mobility and travel support

Useful websites, organisations and resources

This is not a formal training course. It's a relaxed and supportive opportunity to learn, ask questions and connect with other parent carers.

Our hope is that by the end of the session you'll feel more confident about the financial help available and better equipped to access the support you and your family may be entitled to.
