Sharing the Care Short Break Service- Children
The Sharing the Care Short Break Service means that children with disabilities can spend some time with other families who are carefully chosen and vetted by Trust staff.
The purpose of this is two-fold:
- To enhance the quality of a child’s life by providing opportunities to make new friends, and the chance to enjoy new experiences.
- To offer parents with a disabled child some respite, which literally means a ‘period of rest’. During that time they can ‘recharge their batteries’, spend some free time together, or with other family members, thereby enabling them to cope better with the demands of disabilities.
