The project will identify carers who may struggle financially in the coming months and aim to upskill and increase knowledge of home budgeting.
We will achieve this by distributing information sheets and dedicated online budgeting and cookery workshops.
We will deliver boxes (Box Clever) containing basic store cupboard ingredients to allow carers to engage with the online cookery workshops. This will allow carers to discover new ways to cook healthily and save money to assist with reduced family finances.
The aim of the sessions will be to engage carers in going back to basics. These are skills that we feel have been lost within our communities. Sessions will be delivered online to encourage our hard to reach, isolated carers to engage in peer to peer support, as well as share tips and advice to ease financial burdens. Carers can also engage in the workshops without accessing the online workshops as all recipes and information sheets will be in their Box Clever parcel.
