Shared Care Scotland | Creative Breaks Fund

27 Mar 2026

Creative Breaks offers 12-month grants for third sector organisations to deliver short breaks projects for carers of adults (aged 21 years and over), young carers, and the people they care for. 

The programme funds a wide variety of short breaks activities, including breaks away (i.e. overnight stays and residential breaks), days out, and/or shorter sessions (i.e. regular activities). Activities must be designed to enable unpaid carers to have a life outside or alongside caring, and support their health and wellbeing. Short breaks should also benefit the cared-for person and others (e.g. family members) and help sustain the caring relationship.

Applications are open from 26th March – 16th April.
