Our Short Breaks Fund team are in Dundee today for the 'Rest, Relax, Recharge' Carers Wellbeing Day! 🧡
Today carers have been enjoying complementary therapies, wellbeing workshops, and arts and crafts - all supporting them to take a break.

Short breaks have many benefits to unpaid carers. Yet, only 7.5% report regularly or frequently receiving breaks. The right to a break must therefore be backed by sufficient investment and planning.
