One-off events and breaks
One-off break support (planned and significant events)
The Carers' Trust Heart of England as part of their CRESS service can offer one-off break support for carers to attend a significant event such as a wedding, funeral or other significant event. They will also support you if you have a planned medical appointment or a short cycle of appointments that you need support to attend. The service and support is flexible and will talk to you about how best to support you to have the break and if you have any concerns about leaving the person you care for. No carer should miss out on milestone events and no carer should find themselves postponing medical treatment or support. This service is free of charge and available to carers registered with CRESS.
