Targeted short breaks
Families of disabled children and young people can self-refer to targeted short breaks. They're for those who can't get universal services without extra help, according to the Disability Discrimination Act 2010. They can be provided on weekends, evenings and during school holidays.

Payments for targeted short breaks
For grant funded targeted short breaks you will be expected to make a parental contribution of at least £2.50 per hour towards the activities.
This contribution does not cover the whole cost of providing the break or activity but is a contribution at a similar amount to what all parents would pay for children’s clubs and activities.

We purchase a number of short break activities across the county. All organisations that receive funding from us are required to register on our directory.
