Take a Break
Take a Break provides grants to parent carers (unpaid carers and eligible kinship carers) of disabled or seriously ill children and young people, aged 0 to 17.
The aim of this fund is to improve unpaid carers’ quality of life, health and wellbeing by providing cash grants to help them access a short break from the day-to-day routine of caring. Take a Break grants can be used flexibly, to help meet the interests and circumstances of the carer.
Take a Break is open for a limited time each year, depending on funding.
