Flexible Breaks Fund
The Flexible Breaks Fund pays for carers to have a break from their caring role. It’s for parents and carers who provide unpaid care or support to an Islington resident aged 17 and under.
The person they care for could be their child, a relative, friend or neighbour who can’t manage without their support. This could be because of illness or emotional or behavioural issues.
The carer must live in the same household as the person being cared for.
