About THE LEONARDO TRUST
The Leonardo Trust is an independent charitable trust set up in 2001 based in Broadstone to help people in Dorset who are voluntary unpaid carers for relatives or friends. Being a full-time carer is extremely hard work and getting time off can be difficult but it is very important that every carer has some time to themselves for short periods of rest and relaxation not just for themselves but also for the person they care for. If finding the money for a few hours extra respite care or to pay for whatever you would like to do to relax is a challenge, we may be able to help you.
The Leonardo Trust was originally created by our founder, who herself was a full time voluntary carer. She has experienced firsthand the challenges and issues faced from caring for someone else, so we really appreciate and understand that having help with the stressful aspects of life can really make a difference to you and the person you care for. We give modest grant awards for lots of various aspects of a carers life, these include to name but a few: Funding for short holidays, driving lessons, home improvements, home help, assisted living technologies, and legal support. For more information and a better understanding on what we fund please visit our web page www.leonardotrust.org or call the office on 01202 698325.
