Short breaks directory
Find your next short break here
Breaks from caring come in all shapes and sizes. Our directory lists more than 400 short break services across Scotland and beyond.
We aim to improve the quality and provision of short breaks in Scotland.
To do this, our small team covers a wide range of activities from information services such as our directory, events and publications through to research and policy work.
We work closely with other organisations, such as Scottish Government and the National Carer Organisations and we also deliver three programmes of the Short Breaks Fund, as well as our innovative social tourism initiative, Respitality.

Parent carer quote
It’s so hard, sometimes, as a parent of a child with additional needs. It’s been brilliant to see our children have fun and make new friends, and to bond, laugh, cry with other parents that have similar challenges.Parent carer About a project funded through the Short Breaks Fund
