Carers Short Breaks and Time Out
For many, caring is a very rewarding experience, however, it can also be tiring and stressful. Short breaks are one way of helping you to cope with the day to day responsibilities of being a carer.
The Borders Carers Centre will advise on short break options that may suit your needs. They may also be able to search on your behalf for funding which may be available to help finance your short break.
Please also see here for Holiday Home options at reduced rates for carers through our partners at Vocal Edinburgh.
Time to Live
As a carer, you may be eligible for a grant of up to £300 to help you get away and unwind. Funded by The Scottish Government and administered by Shared Care, Time to Live provides support to carers to get a break from caring.
