The aim of Respitality is to provide a short vital break from routine for unpaid carers in Scotland, when they need it most.
Being an unpaid carer can have positive and rewarding aspects, but it can also be isolating as well as physically and mentally demanding. For a range of reasons, including financial pressures, carer concerns and limited time, it is often difficult for carers to take the time out to fully recharge, or to spend quality time on their own or with family and friends.
There are breaks available nationally to all carers and WICCF have secured breaks locally for the benefit of unpaid carers living in the Western Isles.
Availability is constantly changing if you would like to find out what is available and to take advantage of these offers of Respitality please contact Catherine: 07487540173 or carersupport@wiccf.co.uk
