Short breaks for unpaid carers

26.01.2022

We're delighted to announce that we have partnered with Carefree - a new charity that transforms vacant accommodation into vital breaks for unpaid carers.

We know all too well how challenging a full-time caring role can be, so a few days away with a partner or a friend can work wonders.

It may seem like a small thing, but our experience shows us that it can make a huge difference.

To qualify for a break, you must be:

- Aged 21 or over

- Full-time unpaid carer (30+ hours per week)

- Able to arrange interim care

- Able to pay for extras (£25 admin fee, transport, food, travel insurance etc.)

To find out more about the scheme works and to register please visit www.carefreespace.org or contact us on 0300 012 0231 or info@carerscount.org and we can arrange for a referral.
