Creative Breaks Project

The primary aim of the short breaks programme was to help improve their overall well-being and to build robust relationship between carers and those cared for.

NKS sought to offer respite to female South Asian unpaid carers and activities to the cared for through three short day breaks and one residential break over twelve months. The breaks were offered according to the needs of the participants.

The aim of the Creative Breaks Project was to empower women to combat isolation and improve wellbeing through skill enhancing activities and via information about their rights leading to residential programme involving carers and cared for.

The activities delivered were three short day breaks and one weekend residential programme for carers and people they care for, along with outreach work to assess individual needs. During the short breaks and residential weekend, wellbeing, skill enhancing and bonding activities were provided.
