Funding Opportunity - MND Scotland Invites Applications for a Time to Live Grant

15th December 2015

MND Scotland Invites Applications for a Time to Live Grant.

There are two more funding rounds for the Time to Live Grants scheme which is administered by MND Scotland, the only charity that funds research and provides care and information for people affected by Motor Neurone Disease (NMD) in Scotland. The scheme is funded through the Short Breaks Fund, which is provided by the Scottish Government and administered by Shared Care Scotland.

The aim of the scheme is to support carers and people with MND by giving them the chance to enjoy quality time outside their usual routine and caring role.

Grants of up to £500 are available to enable individuals caring for someone with MND to take a break from their caring role. Grants can support any costs that make time out possible, such as accommodation, holiday insurance, transport, respite care, or meals out.

Grants can be used to spend time together or for the carer to have a break, as long as both people will feel the benefit.

Priority will be given to applicants who have not previously received an MND Scotland holiday grant.

The next deadlines for applications are 18 January 2016 and 14 March 2016.
