This project offers family carers the chance to have a break by providing support to people in their own homes. The medical conditions that our cared for people need support with varies but the main condition is dementia/stroke/heart conditions but it could be any illness at all. We support people with mobility problems too. The break can last anything from 7 hours to 2 weeks (longer breaks are shared with another volunteer). Volunteers are given an extensive induction, which requires a lot of reading, and some worksheets to be completed.
