Description
The aim of the project is to implement and deliver a system for administering small amounts of funding to a range of organisations that provide a specific service to young carers. This will be achieved by working with young carers and their families to identify the activities that are most likely to be successful in maintaining and achieving positive health outcomes.
The project will help to identify the activities that the young carers are particularly interested in and coordinate the activities with providers.
The nature of young carers requires a more flexible approach to the provision of Personal Budget projects for Adult Carers, this is due almost exclusively to the need for transport and supervision while engaged in those activities. This is generally not required for other carer groups, unless they belong to vulnerable groups such as Learning Disability etc.

Contract Award Justification:
• Improving access to healthcare,
• Working in partnership with both primary care and Hospitals to improve access to the range of pathways for ill health prevention,
• Health promotion and community treatment options.
• When a patient requires hospitalisation the projects support efficient and effective safe discharge protocols that ensure smooth transition back in to the community and reducing the likelihood of readmission.
• Ensuring there is a strong VSC offer strengthens our local community
It is anticipated that this not only improves health outcomes for this vulnerable group but may also reduce costs incurred by avoiding extended hospital stays and improving patient flows.
