The Autism Short Breaks Project

The autism short breaks project was launched in November 2015 with the first round of funding being distributed in February 2016.

It is a partnership project delivered by Autism Initiatives, The National Autistic Society Scotland and Scottish Autism. The funding from the project is from the Short Breaks Fund administered by Shared Care Scotland.

The fund is designed to give you control over your Short Break and we welcome applications for as wide a variety of Short Break ideas as possible.

Grants of up to £300 are available for carers of autistic adults over the age of 16.
