Take a Break provides cash grants to parent carers (including eligible kinship carers) of disabled and seriously ill children and young people, aged 0 to 17. The grant can be used to contribute towards things like day trips, a short break away, an additional carer, travel costs, gardening and home entertainment equipment, and more.
The programme aims to improve unpaid parent carers’ quality of life, health and wellbeing by supporting them to access a break from the day-to-day routine of caring. It is funded by the Scottish Government and administered by the charity Family Fund.
