Time to Live 

Picture

As a carer, you may be eligible for a grant of an average of £300 to help you get away and unwind.

Funded by The Scottish Government, Time to Live provides support to carers to get a break from caring.

It is up to you how you would prefer to take your break.  It may be a holiday, a weekend away, a college course, a social evening, some professional counselling or perhaps learning to drive to ultimately make your caring responsibilities a bit easier.

Funds are limited and priority will be given to first time applicants who have not had a break in the past 12 months.  Time to Live may be applied for once in a 12 month period.  You must be registered with the Carers Centre to make an application.

Where does the money come from?

The scheme is administered by the Borders Carers Centre on behalf of the Scottish Government 

How do I apply?

Contact the Carers Centre and we will help guide you through the process.   You must be registered with the Carers Centre to make an application.

"I was desperate for a break, and the Carers Centre made it really easy to apply for a weekend away.  I had the money in my bank within days.  I don't know what I'd have done without it"    Carer, Galashiels
