Jenny is one of our long term supporters, and we get amazing feedback from unpaid carers thanks to her revitalizing services at The Tranquility Zone, Massage and Holistic Treatments....

Be a part of our social tourism programme and support unpaid carers in your local community like Jenny, or across Scotland. https://www.respitality.org.uk/support-our-work/

I’ve worked with the Dundee Carers Centre for many years now. I know how important it is for unpaid carers to be able to take time out for themselves. I’m delighted to once again support the Respitality scheme by providing one hour relaxing treatments to those in need of a bit of relaxation 💖

Respitality wedding : those who made it happen

In week three of our wedding series, we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible people who made this day happen. ⭐

A huge thank you to Dumfries and Galloway Carers, whose dedication and hard work pulled every detail together. From sourcing generous additional donations, to working closely with Emma and Simon, their commitment ensured the wedding became a truly unforgettable celebration - all while continuing their vital work supporting unpaid carers across Dumfries and Galloway.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Dumfries and Galloway Life, who partnered with local businesses to make this opportunity possible. Their support for the carers' centre, unpaid carers, and the Respitality programme has made a meaningful difference. Thank you for helping create such a memorable day! 🙌
