Carefree is radically reshaping access to carer breaks nationwide by making it easy for the hotel industry to donate its excess capacity. Every week there are 1 million unsold hotel rooms in the UK. We turn those empty rooms into priceless short breaks for those in need of respite.
A break gives a carer the chance of a good night’s sleep, the time to connect with a friend, partner or child and the chance to do things they ordinarily can’t get the space for like read a book, go for a swim, take a walk. 
But this intervention isn’t just making a difference at the individual level. It’s building resilience into a social care system that is overstretched and unresourced, without adding any additional cost to the public purse.
