Short breaks can give Carers:
Our staff can help Carers identify a short break that is suitable for their needs. Our fund will allow Carers to be flexible with their short break, they can chose to take their short break as a one-off event or to have regular time away from their caring role.
Applications received for the Time to Live Fund will be reviewed by a funding panel against the criteria set out by Shared Care Scotland.
Applications that meet the criteria will be contacted to gather more information on current caring situation, Carers needs and short break requirements. Applications will then be assessed by a funding panel who will make the final decision on the allocation of funding.
The panel may decide that overall, the application does meet the eligibility criteria but that there are some elements out-with its scope. In this instance, they may make the decision not to grant the full amount requested but instead will decide to fund a particular element of the break/activity. In addition, if there are more applications considered at a panel meeting than funds available, the panel will award funding to the applications, which in their opinion, best fit the intended outcomes of the fund.
The panel’s decision is final.
