Shared Care Scotland is excited to announce that Creative Breaks is now open for applications 2026-2027.
A total of around £1.6 million is available for this round of Creative Breaks for 12-month grants for third sector organisations to deliver short breaks for unpaid carers of adults (aged 21 and over), young carers, and the people that they care for.
Funding is limited and Creative Breaks is likely to receive more applications than funding can cover. 71% of applicants were successful in 2025-2026.
Who can apply?
This funding is for third sector organisations operating in Scotland. The organisation needs to be an OSCR registered charity or a constituted organisation that has only charitable purpose(s) and that delivers public benefit. Please refer to the guidance notes to ensure eligibility: Guidance for Applicants
