Does anyone know the best place to apply for funding for computer equipment and sporting activities for young carers?

Any events or leisure activities that are available at discounted cost?

Where abouts are you?
I know in highland and moray there is a charity called crossroads they may be able to advise you or ask at your local council they may know who to talk to.

Princess royal trust has grants available but you will need to go thru a carers centre to apply.Also your local authority may have access to other groups that give small grants.Ask maybe thru social work.
