Funding to Provide Short Breaks for Carers & the People they Care For (Scotland)
Third sector organisations across Scotland are invited to apply for a share of £1.1 million in funding to deliver short breaks projects and services that support the health and wellbeing of both carers and the people they care for.
The Creative Breaks programme, administered by Shared Care Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government, will award 12-month grants to fund activities that enable carers and the people they care for to take a break from the daily caring routine.
Activities could include:
- overnight stays
- residential breaks
- days out
- regular activities
No funding amount is given, however the average grant awarded in previous years has been around £13,000.
The deadline for applications is 5pm on the 23rd May 2024.
