VOCAL Wee Breaks
Wee Breaks helps carers arrange some time off from caring and supports carers to plan, resource and arrange the right short break for them.
Service Description
A short break is any form of service or assistance which enables carers to have periods away from their caring routines and responsibilities.
Wee Breaks offers a range of information about short breaks and provides one-to-one practical and emotional support to help carers to organise the right break for them.
Wee Breaks also administers a short breaks grant fund, helps carers to secure other support and make applications to other trust funds and charities.
Wee Breaks works in conjunction with a number of agencies to support carers and help them to live a life alongside caring.
