We ran a youth club for children with additional support needs for 1.5 hours per week during term time in Aberfeldy.

This allowed carers some respite.

We provided a 1 week activity break for 11-14 year olds and two residential weekends for 15-18 year olds who are blind or partially sighted help promote their independence and allow respite for carers.

We also provided a family residential weekend in Dumfries & Galloway offering peers support and a break for the normal routine.

We delivered four residential activity weekend camps this year. Two camps of 15 for children on the autism spectrum, one camp for our young adult group aged 16-18 and 1 camp of 15 for their siblings.

Prior to these camps we run fortnightly socials with the children and volunteers to get to know each other. Project Teen Ranch offers each family up to 60 hours of respite.

We provided grants directly to carers who care for an adult who has Down’s Syndrome and who lives with them.

We provided weekly athletic based sessions for young people with multiple support needs throughout Perth and Kinross.

We provided grants directly to carers who care for an adult with serious mental health problems or mental illness living in Scotland.

We provided grants directly to carers who care for people living with dementia to plan and pay for a short break of their choice.

We provided short breaks for groups of autistic adults who do not access short break services as part of their regular support.

The breaks provided respite for families and opportunities to learn skills in a new setting, thereby improving a range of quality of life outcomes and reducing parent/carer anxiety.
