Take a Break is Scotland’s short breaks fund for carers of disabled and seriously ill children, young people and their families. Take a Break grants can be used for a break away, towards leisure activities or outings, sports equipment and much, much more.
Who can apply?
Take a Break can accept applications from parent carers, and eligible kinship carers, of disabled and seriously ill children and young people, aged 0 to 17.
Only application per household or family unit will be accepted. If you care for multiple disabled or seriously ill children or young people, we encourage you to include all of them as part of your one application.
The cash grant can be used flexibly to meet your needs – whether that’s for a holiday for just you or the whole family, a day trip, sports and leisure equipment, travel or hobby costs, and more.
How to apply
Applications open on Tuesday 05 May 2026.
