SHORT BREAKS/RESPITE

Are you a Carer looking for a break from anything between a couple of hours and half a day? If so, we may be able to help. We have a small group of volunteers who provide what is effectively an “adult sitter” service. Do you need someone to sit with your cared for person while you attend a medical appointment? Would you value a regular break to attend an adult education class?

Every Carer and cared for find themselves in different circumstances, facing different needs. If you think you need someone to sit with your sick or disabled* loved one, to give you a break, please contact us.

* Please note that, due to Heath and Safety considerations we are unable to help if the cared for has high level needs. Please discuss the detail of your circumstances and the needs of the cared for when you contact us
