This project is only possible thanks to the generosity of a growing community of Giving Partners — local businesses who recognise the value of unpaid care and want to give back.
By joining us, you help celebrate and reward that dedication with what carers rarely ask for, but deeply need: kindness, recognition, and a well-deserved break.
In the hospitality, leisure, culture or tourism sector? You can gift an experience, such as:
A hotel stay, spa treatment, fitness classes, or wellness services
A meal, coffee, or afternoon tea
Tickets to an event, gallery, or performance
Not in a position to give directly? You can fund a break instead — enabling us to:
Tailor experiences to each carer's specific needs and enable family or friends to join them
Support independent local businesses in the hospitality and leisure sector
Reach more carers and create greater impact
If you want to support the project, but you’re not sure how yet, we’d love to hear from you.
Complete the contact form or email us. We’ll help shape your support in a way that works for you and welcome you to our community of Giving Partners
The break offer is then securely listed here for our Carer Support Workers to view and share with the carers. They’ll be in touch with you when a match is made.
You’ll receive a Giving Partner Welcome Pack with materials to display — and our ongoing thanks for being one of the caring kind.
A “break” can be anything that gives a carer time to enjoy an activity away from their caring responsibilities. This could be a hotel stay, a meal out, tickets to an event, a wellness session, or even something as simple as coffee and cake with a friend.
Primarily we work with businesses in the hospitality, leisure, tourism, and culture sectors — but any organisation that can offer meaningful experiences is welcome. If you’re not in a position to gift a break, you can still support the project by funding a break.
The beneficiaries of the project are unpaid carers living in West Yorkshire. We work with Giving Partners who operate outside of West Yorkshire and/or offer breaks outside of West Yorkshire, but the project will only make those offers available to carers living in West Yorkshire.
When a break is offered, it’s listed privately in a secure area accessed only by Carer Support Workers, employed by one of the delivery partners*. They’ll discuss the breaks offered with the carer, and when a match is made, they’ll confirm the details with you directly. We ask that you then book that carer into your own booking system and treat that carer like any other paying customer... or better!* Delivery Partners – we work with five registered charities stationed across the West Yorkshire region. These charities give specialist information, advice, and guidance to unpaid carers and the challenges they face in their caring role.
Absolutely. We’ll provide you with a Giving Partner certificate and welcome pack you can display, and we actively encourage sharing on social media. It’s a chance to celebrate your support and reach new audiences.
The Carer Support Workers work directly with carers to understand their preferences, personal circumstances and challenges, and what truly helps them recharge. Breaks are matched thoughtfully, and we follow up with carers afterward to hear how it went — often sharing their feedback with you (with consent).
That’s not a problem – we're grateful for any support offered and understand that things can change. We simply ask, if possible, to honor any breaks that have been claimed until that point, and that we can leave the door open for future collaboration.
