Funding for short breaks projects for disabled children & young people, and their carers
Created: 01/10/2021
News/Events Category: Funding and FinanceThe Better Breaks programme provides 12-month grants to third sector organisations to develop and deliver short breaks projects and services for disabled children and young people (aged 20 and under), and their carers (adult carers and/or young carers).
The Better Breaks programme funds a wide range of short breaks projects and services, including activities and breaks for:
- Disabled children and young people without their carers
- families to enjoy together
- carers (adult/parent carers) without the child or young person they care for
- young/sibling carers with the person they care for.
Short breaks projects and activities can include breaks away (including overnight stays and residential breaks), days out, and/or shorter sessions (including regular activities).
To be eligible for Better Breaks funding, projects must be able to evidence how their activities will benefit both disabled children and young people and their carers, by providing a break from their normal routine.
A total of around £1million is available. Grants are for one year (April 2022 – March 2023).
