The money, from Shetland Charitable Trust, is for distributing Time for Me grants of up to £150 to carers who provide a significant amount of caring for someone UNDER 21 years. This is to allow the carer to take a short break of their choice and have some time out from their caring role.

Due to Coronavirus, many carers have benefited recently from a break at home. Examples of how the money has been spent include massage therapy sessions, staycations, gym membership, meals out, books, baking equipment and pamper days.
