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