Care for Carers is seeking support for their ‘Stepping Out’ residential breaks, which take place across Scotland.
Due to a lack of access to respite care, and delays accessing treatment, which restricted the ability of the person being cared for to be independent, the hours spent caring take a toll on carers’ physical and mental health. The ‘Stepping Out’ programme aims to provide carers with the chance to rest, enjoy activities outside of their usual routines, and to spend time with others in a similar position to themselves, providing a feeling of support and connection.
