The Scottish Government is encouraging people to apply for the Young Carer Grant, especially amid the cost of living crisis.
Ben Macpherson, the Minister for Social Security, outlined why eligible young people should reach out for support.
Mr Macpherson explained: “The dedication shown by young carers in Scotland is remarkable and I am pleased that we can help to recognise their important contribution by offering extra financial support through the Scottish Government’s Young Carer Grant.
“At a time when many young people are leaving school and taking advantage of new opportunities, it is right that we recognise for many people aged between 16 and 18 those chances are impacted by their caring responsibilities and the time they devote to loved ones.
