About Shared Care Scotland

Shared Care Scotland (SCS) is a dynamic and ambitious charity dedicated to improving the quality and provision of short breaks in Scotland for adult and young carers and the people they help care for. It is estimated there are 700,000 to 800,000 unpaid carers in Scotland.

We have a vision of a Scotland where everyone who receives support or provides unpaid care can live a satisfying life, with the assistance they need to take regular, quality breaks from demanding caring routines. 

As one of Scotland’s leading National Carer Organisations we contribute to the development of policy and best practice for carers. Our activities include events, learning exchange networks, publications, and research. We also host a national online directory of short break services and manage a £10m Short Breaks Fund on behalf of the Scottish Government which provides grant funding to third sector organisations to help carers access breaks from caring.
