Introducing Respitality in Fife

This item will show under the following categories: Carer Support
Respitality in Fife is now live and open to applications. Respitality is a project, commissioned with funding from Fife Health and Social Care Partnership, providing short breaks to unpaid carers in Fife.
Where do Respitality breaks come from?
Respitality is in part supported by local businesses that donate short breaks for unpaid carers. These important breaks provide unpaid carers with time away from their regular caring routine, helping them to remain well enough to continue their caring role.
What can Respitality breaks offer?
Respitality breaks can provide unpaid carers time to rest, pursue a hobby, catch up with friends, or just relax and recharge. For some, a break is an opportunity for the unpaid carer and the person they care for to enjoy time together. For others, it's about having quality time apart.
Breaks can include accommodation, beauty/relaxation therapy, dining, leisure activities, or tickets (e.g. sporting event, theatre, cinema). Breaks often change and can vary.
Where did the word 'Respitality' come from?
Respitality is a combination of the words 'respite' and 'hospitality'.
