Student carers across Lanarkshire are being urged not to miss out on vital financial support. ‌

As thousands of students begin their college or university studies, those with caring roles are being urged to check they’re getting all the financial help they’re entitled to. ‌

Around 30,000 unpaid carers are currently studying at Scottish colleges and universities, according to Carers Trust Scotland. These students face unique challenges, providing emotional, mental or physical support to family members, friends or neighbours whilst juggling lectures, coursework and student life. ‌

However, support is available. Social Security Scotland delivers three payments that could make a real difference to student carers.
