what's on

We can help you to take a break!

Carers BreaksWe take all the worry out of organising a short break for yourself. We organise regular trips and activities, intended to give you an enjoyable day out, as well as the chance to meet other people in a similar position and to make new friends.

We organise mini-bus or comfortable coach transport, with convenient pick-up points across South Oxfordshire & Vale of White Horse (Abingdon, Didcot, Wantage & Wallingford).

We can help you to arrange care for the person you care for, but unfortunately we can’t help with paying for any care needed.

How much does it cost?

For adult carers, we need to make a modest charge for the trips and activities to cover the costs of transport, administration, and staff to accompany the trip on the day. This is usually around £15 to £20, depending on where we’re going and how many people want to come. If we go to the Theatre, a Garden, or a Country House, then entry fees are payable as well. You will also need to pay for your own refreshments

Young Carers’ days out

For Young Carers, aged 8 to 18 years, we also organise trips out and fun activities to give you a break, and the chance to meet up with other Young Carers. There are two age groups for our activities: ages 8 to 12, and ages 13 to 17. Contact us for more details – just ask about Young Carers Trips. These trips and activities are usually free, but you may need to bring some spending money or refreshments.
