Support to take time out from your caring role

Lanarkshire Carers has a range of support services for carers living in Lanarkshire including direct carer grant funding which may assist carers to take a short break from caring or access other things that can help reduce isolation and exclusion. Funding and initiatives are also available through Lanarkshire Carers to support carers in financial hardship due to having a reduced or limited income, particularly with rising cost-of-living pressures.

We can also support you to access a short break through our Respitality scheme which has a variety of breaks throughout the year which have been gifted by local businesses such as hotels, guesthouses, leisure clubs.
