Carers in Clackmannanshire have received more than £1 million in financial support.
The money was issued through the SNP Scottish Government's Carer Support Payment, which was piloted in November 2023.
The initiative has provided a significant portion of the £89.5m total investment across Scotland.
In Clackmannanshire, 145 applications were submitted, resulting in £1,077,145 being issued to carers.
Keith Brown, MSP for Clackmannanshire and Dunblane, praised the initiative.
He said: "These numbers show the real impact of the SNP’s commitment to supporting carers.
"Carers make an immense contribution to our communities, and I am proud that Scotland is recognising their value through direct financial support.
"This investment of over £89m across Scotland is not just a number — it represents a lifeline for thousands of people who care for loved ones every day, with well over £1m going directly to carers across Clackmannanshire and Dunblane."
The Carer Support Payment is part of a broader initiative to provide financial assistance to carers across Scotland.
