CARERS could be able to take a course or fitness class thanks to a £200 grant.

The Carers Learning Grant scheme is offering support for people who have been providing unpaid help for an elderly, sick or disabled friend or relative.

The grant, which is administered by Age UK Norfolk on behalf of Norfolk County Council, can be used towards leisure courses such as creative writing or complimentary therapy along with adult education or driving lessons.

Alternatively the courses can relate to the caring role.

If you would like to apply for a grant contact Jasmine Toombs by emailing info@ageuknorfolk.org.uk or 01603 787111.
