Time to rest, time for you
At Care for Carers, short breaks are at the heart of what we do. Whether you’re looking for a few hours to yourself, a day out, an evening activity, or an extended five-night residential break, we have options to suit every carer and every situation.
Take a look at what’s on offer — or if you’d like to chat through what might be right for you, our friendly team is always happy to help.
Our short break programmes
We offer a range of short breaks through our in-house programmes. These include:
- Stepping Out® – Residential breaks
- Still Caring and Big Days Out – day and evening activities

Hospitality Gifts for Carers
On top of our regular programmes, we’re also able to offer carers some very special treats. From complimentary stays in self-catering accommodation or hotels, to meals out and whisky tours, these hospitality gifts are our way of saying — you matter.
