Caregiver Appreciation: Who Qualifies and What You Get

If you provide unpaid care to friends or family, you may be eligible for a small financial gift or voucher from your local municipality.

This scheme is a way for your local municipality to recognize the efforts of people providing unpaid care to a family member or a friend.

Who it's for

This is for individuals who provide unpaid care to someone in their life, such as a family member or a friend.

What you get

You can receive a small financial gift or a voucher as a token of appreciation for your caregiving efforts.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee to receive this, but you will need to register your status as a caregiver with your local municipality.

The catch to know

Rules and the amount you receive are not the same everywhere; every municipality sets its own specific guidelines and gift values.

How to apply

  1. Contact your local municipality to ask about their specific caregiver appreciation program.
  2. Follow their process to register yourself as an unpaid caregiver.
  3. Check with your local office to see if you qualify for a gift or voucher.
