NEWCIS on BBC News Wales
Funding worth £9m to help relieve the pressure on unpaid carers in Wales, has been announced.
It is hoped that in funding regular time away from their responsibilities, the scheme will prevent burnout among carers, and boost their mental and physical wellbeing.
The money is designed to help those on lower incomes who have caring responsibilities and more details will released shortly on how people can apply.
The new money will increase access to support already offered by services such as NEWCIS – North East Wales Carers Information Service.
