Shared Care Scotland - Short Breaks Fund Creative Breaks

Details

The purpose of the Short Breaks Fund is to increase the range, availability and choice of short breaks for unpaid carers and those they care for across Scotland.

The Creative Breaks programme provides 12 month grants to third sector organisations to develop and deliver short breaks projects and services for carers of adults (aged 21 years and over), and young carers (caring for children or adults), and the people that they care for.

The Creative Breaks programme funds a wide variety of short breaks activities, including breaks away (i.e. overnight stays and residential breaks), days out, and/or shorter sessions (i.e. regular activities). Activities must be designed to enable unpaid carers to have a life outside or alongside caring, and support their health and wellbeing. Short breaks should also benefit the cared-for person and others (e.g. family members) and help sustain the caring relationship.
