Providing respite breaks for carers of adults with a learning disability.

Our short break service operates in the Belfast, Bangor and Lisburn areas at present.

We offer weekly and weekend excursions for your loved one so they can enjoy some leisure time however they choose, and you can have a break too.

A partnership between carers, the business community and the statutory sector.

Formed in 1999, Caring Breaks has evolved to become an established and unique service in Northern Ireland for family carers and their loved ones.

  • "Peter loves these breaks as this type of freedom doesn’t happen at any other time in the week”

  • "I needed help to keep going, and about four years ago, Caring Breaks rescued me"
