Recharge Bursaries
Funded places are available for unpaid & recently bereaved carers & on occasions, open to others -depending on funding.
We limit the number of discount codes each person can use per year so that more carers benefit.
We may need evidence that you meet the criteria for a funded/subsidised place.
Identifying as an unpaid carer can help you get the support you need.
Looking after your own wellbeing can also help the person you care for
