Since 2001 (we became a CIO in 2021) we have enabled Carers, who are ordinary people doing extraordinary things, to obtain a well earned break by funding an alternative Carer to act in their place whilst they have a break. Breaks can take the form of anything from enabling attendance at an evening class, a weekend break or longer. We also provide free week long seaside holidays.
