Description
VOCAL Wee Breaks supports unpaid carers to take time to breathe, recharge and think about themselves for an hour, a day or longer.
This service aims to empower you to take time away from your caring role so you can continue caring in good physical and mental health into the future.
VOCAL Wee Breaks can take you on a journey from where to start and overcoming barriers to exploring what a break looks like for you, co-coordinating replacement care, travel, exploring funding options and much more.
