Why aren’t all breaks available to families caring for a child of any age.
We have long term plans to make all of our breaks available to children of all ages. However, to do this we need consistent access to a good number of donated breaks. We are working to increase the number of donations we receive but in the mean time we operate two tier access to our breaks.

Specialist Adapted breaks for higher needs
At Time Away we recognise that not all families are able to access standard holiday let properties. Many of the families we support will require modifications and adaptations to enable them to enjoy a break away from home.
We are now offering to provide breaks in adapted properties to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy some Time Away. These breaks will operate slightly differently from our regular offering. Because the type of properties suitable are specialist and therefore less common, we are less likely to receive donations in these type of properties. Time Away will directly fund these breaks and as such we will make case by case assessments of each application to determine how we allocate these breaks.
To qualify:
- You care for a child under 18 years old
- The qualifying child receives higher rate DLA, PIP or Child Disability Payment (Scotland)
- You will take the break with the qualifying child, as a family (plus support carers if required)
