Short Breaks is a one-to-one service for disabled children and young people. We support individuals to take part in play or leisure activities at home or in their local area. Our service gives children and young people time away from their family, whilst giving families the opportunity for a regular break from caring.

Support and activities include:

• Developing friendships
• Increasing independence and social skills
• Opportunities to gain new experiences 
• One-to-one short break activity reflecting personal choice

How to get involved:

The Short Break service is delivered in partnership with four Health & Social Care Trusts across Northern Ireland and referral to the service comes solely from the Children’s Disability Team or other identified Health & Social Care representatives.
