Caring for someone else can be rewarding, but we know it can also be demanding. That's why our Time To Live Fund is available to help carers take some valuable time for themselves.
Whether your perfect break is a weekend away, a new hobby, or an activity that helps you unwind, the fund can support a wide range of opportunities, including:
🌟 Holidays and overnight breaks
🌟Hobby and leisure equipment
🌟Gym, cinema and club memberships
🌟Wellbeing and relaxation activities
🌟Personal interests such as cycling, photography or gaming
Previous recipients have used the fund for everything from spa retreats and Comic Con experiences to Taekwondo classes, photography equipment and bicycles.
If you're a carer and feel you could benefit from some time to recharge, we'd love to support you.
For more information or to apply, contact Shannon, Short Breaks Co-ordinator, on 01563 571533 or email [email protected].
Because taking care of yourself is just as important as caring for others.❤️

East Ayrshire Health & Social Care Partnership has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to the eligibility criteria for social care support.

The proposal looks at prioritising support for individuals with 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆, due to increasing demand and pressure on services.

💬 This could have a significant impact on people who currently rely on support to live independently, as well as their families and carers.

✅ Your voice matters – the Partnership is encouraging residents, service users, carers, and professionals to share their views.

📅 The consultation is now open, and feedback will help shape future decisions about how care and support services are delivered locally.

Please take a moment to respond and share this post so others are aware. It’s important that as many people as possible have their say.

This consultation seeks views on a proposed revision to the eligibility criteria for adult social care services. The proposal is to amend the current threshold so that services are provided only to individuals whose needs are assessed as critical, rather than to those
