Having some Time Out

Everyone needs a break from their usual routine. For most carers some time out is essential to help you carry on caring and to look after your own health needs. Time out can be anything that recharges the batteries from a few hours to overnight stays, regular respite, a weeks' holiday or taking up a new interest or starting a course. It might mean just a few hours to do the shopping or meet some friends. Each caring situation is different so we try to provide a range of different options and find out what it is you really want.

If you have a regular caring commitment we can provide information about what's out there to meet your needs. There are breaks that you can take when you want, individually or in the company of other carers, or if you want to do something together - Twos Company might be the answer.
