Carer Breaks

Take a well-deserved break with Carefree! If you are a full-time unpaid carer, you can enjoy an annual short break in a beautiful hotel for just £33. Our initiative is designed to give you the time and space you need to look after your own wellbeing, away from your caring responsibilities.

How it works:

  • Sign up: Register with Carefree by providing proof of identity and your caring status. You can upload documents or nominate a referee.
  • Request a break: Browse hundreds of hotel options nationwide and submit your request. Hotels confirm availability within 2 working days.
  • Enjoy your time away: Once your booking is confirmed, prepare for your trip and enjoy a 1-2 night stay with breakfast included. You can bring a companion (not the person you care for) to truly relax and recharge.

Who is eligible?

  • Unpaid carers aged 18 or over
  • Providing more than 30 hours of care per week

What does it cost? There is a £33 admin fee per break to help us run our charity. You are responsible for your own travel and other expenses.

Why take a break? Carers who have used Carefree tell us how much it has helped their mental health, energy, and sense of wellbeing. Taking time for yourself is vital so you can continue to care for others.

Ready to get started? Register today and find your perfect break. Your well-deserved rest is just around the corner!
