Respite and Wellbeing breaks

Registering for a Respite Break

These breaks are available free of charge for any families or people affected by cancer.

• The break can be a long weekend, midweek or a week.
• Arrival can be anytime across an available week – whatever suits you best.
• Check in from 2pm on your arrival day and check out by 10am on your departure day.
• Pick a first and second choice of dates and we endeavour to accommodate one of these.

Timings during term time

• If this break is taken during term time we can give you advice for how to apply for time out of school.
• To enable the schools to authorise they would be much more likely to support if there is current treatment occurring.

Eligibility

• We ask everyone applying for a break to share the contact details of a nurse, doctor or another medical professional who knows them.  Its simply a light-touch check so we know the application is genuine, and nothing more.

Registering for a Well being Break

We often see the incredible work that staff and volunteers do when providing care and support for people and their families going through cancer diagnosis and treatment. It has always been a challenge to offer anything to those amazing people, they consistently say we must put their patients first.

We feel strongly that looking after the support staff is looking after the patients – please take us up on this offer!

The well being breaks we provide will be available throughout the year and MUST be used by support staff. The lodge will stand empty if not used.

The breaks can be up to a week and is also available for midweek or weekend breaks.
