Take a Break

Take a Break is now open to applications! 

Take a Break delivers one of four, short break grant programmes available in Scotland, funded by the Scottish Government and administered by us here at Family Fund, on their behalf.

Take a Break Scotland grants enable families caring for a disabled or seriously ill child or young person, to have the opportunity to choose how they would like to take a break.

If you have already submitted your application, priority will be given to those applying for the first time, and those who did not receive any support last year. Please note that funding is limited, so there is no guarantee of support.

Applications close at 5:00pm on Monday 20 June 2022.

All applicants will receive a letter to advise them of the outcome of their application from 11 July 2022.
