NEWCIS through their Time for Me project aims to support carers of all ages through a range of options to take a bespoke break which matches their needs and helps them to sustain their caring role. Microgrants are available to enable a carer to take a break for a few hours at the cinema or out for a meal. Longer three day breaks away at a holiday home of their choice is also available, with access to respite.

Young carers can access Microgrants and residentials with their peers.
