Description
For several years carers have been able to access complimentary therapies, such as reflexology and Indian head massage, in order to take a break and maintain their own health and wellbeing. These have proved popular, so we now want to extend this to include other activities, such as those you provide. We hope that this will widen the appeal of the vouchers enabling us to identify more carers and offer them early support.
Carers would be given vouchers they can exchange for activities, a bit like a gift voucher scheme. The difference being that the business accepting the vouchers then invoices us for payment after the activity has taken place. This gives carers choice over how they take a break, but also gives businesses the opportunity to be part of a selected group the carers would be directed to.
We are looking for three types of breaks. To continue with the complimentary therapies, but also to include other types of activity, such as surfing and golf, and to offer short courses such as pilates and yoga. We would create an approved provider list of businesses accepting the vouchers, for carers to select their preferred break provider from.
