## Notice

The Carer break service has been established since the mid 1990's and is a key strategic prevention service offered to carers within North Yorkshire. The current service provision is designed as an open access volunteer led carer 'sitting' service. The aims of the new Carer Break Service are broadly aligned with the current service specifications to support and sustain carers in their caring role and promote their health and wellbeing by providing a break from caring. It is clear from feedback that carers see 'Carers Break Services' as a valuable service for them to continue caring and contributes to well-being. The opportunity to volunteer for these services also gives meaningful activity to the volunteers who are often ex carers and can provide the benefit of their experience to current carers.
