Short breaks fund for carers (Image: CVS Inverclyde)
ORGANISATIONS which help people looking after a loved one are being urged to apply for cash to cover the cost of helping them enjoy a break.
Third sector umbrella group CVS Inverclyde is promoting a short breaks fund which provides 12-month grants to third sector organisations so that they can help individuals with caring responsibilities.
Organisations have until 5pm on May 25 to apply, with more information available online at www.sharedcarescotland.org.uk/creativebreaks
