"Our Short Break grant went towards flights for a holiday abroad. It gave us a chance to take a break in a place we had dreamed about visiting. It helped our mental health and having that short period of time to recharge has enabled us to be in a more positive mindset going forward. We spend so much of our time caring, not only directly, but all the other aspects that take planning or organising, so getting time to switch off slightly from that and enjoy a break has meant that we came back feeling refreshed both mentally and physically. It is extremely difficult to put into words exactly what this grant did and just how much it benefitted our whole family. The only thing I can say is 'Thank You' and that we are all truly grateful."

Carers Tablet Loan Scheme

A reminder that Shetland Carers have a 'tablet loan scheme' just for you. We currently have seven tablets available for carers to borrow.

With Awards for All funding, Shetland Carers were able to purchase a supply of 12 Android Tablets. We wish to offer these tablets to carers on loan, to enable you to stay in touch with friends and family.

We will loan the tablets out to carers for at least 6 months, but we are more than happy to discuss a longer period of loan time.
