East Ayrshire Carers - Short Breaks Service

Our Time to Live project is resourced by Scottish Government via the Short Breaks Fund & with partial match funding by East Ayrshire HSCP. It's a micro-grant to help carers improve their physical or mental health, promote positive wellbeing & support access to social/leisure opportunities that will improve their wellbeing. Carers can be as creative as they like! Anything from a break away, a day out, annual gym or golf membership, crafty activities, a regular hobby, including buying equipment or paying for lessons – perhaps a cinema pass, or concert tickets, even paints, canvases & brushes. Carers can go with or without the person they care for. We are also delivery partners for Respitality and can help carers access all sorts of one off breaks/activities through donations from organisations such as hotel stays, afternoon tea etc
