Our Campaign for Carers' Breaks

We campaign for the continued provision of breaks for unpaid carers across Kent. Our key campaign messages are:

  • Breaks need to be regular, not one-off
  • Carers should be able to choose how they spend their break
  • Quality, trusted replacement care is essential
  • Carers know their own needs best
  • Crisis support matters when things go wrong
  • Specialised support is vital during end-of-life care
