Short Breaks Fund

The Short Breaks Fund is funded by the Scottish Government. As an unpaid carer, it can be difficult to spend time and money on yourself. By enabling you to take a short break either in the form of a brief holiday away, attending a family event or even going on a course to try something new, the short breaks fund can provide a break that can improve your physical or mental health, give you something to look forward to, give you time to recharge your batteries, give you a break from day-to-day routines or help you reconnect with old interests. If you are living in Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Isles (Islay, Jura and Gigha), then you are eligible to make an application. Details of how to apply can be found on the website.
