Carers' breaks

There are two council funded breaks services for carers of people with learning disabilities in Lambeth. These are fix yourself a break and the carers' breaks service. 

This page tells you a bit about what they do and how you can get a break

Fix yourself a break

Fix yourself a break is a fund that carers can apply for. In Lambeth if you are eligible for the fund you will receive £200. You can use this to pay for a break or for something that may make your life easier such as a washing machine. 

For more information and to apply for a Fix yourself a break grant you can contact Stephen McGeever, the carer development worker on 0208 655 7707.

Or you can contact Lambeth's carers hub on 020 7642 0038. They will help you fill in the form and send in your application.

For more information about the Fix yourself a break grant please visit Lambeth Carers' Hub website. Click here to go to the website. 

The carers' breaks service

The carers' breaks service offers short breaks for carers. They do this by taking the cared for person away on holiday giving the carer some respite from caring.

To use this service you will need to be referred by a care manager.

If you would like to find out more about this service please call Jake Meyer or Nicole Griffiths who run this service at Southside Partnership on 020 8772 6218
