At Carefree, we've just sailed past a significant milestone: we have delivered 7,000 breaks to unpaid carers through our platform! This number represents countless moments of respite, rejuvenation, and support for individuals presently dedicating their lives to caring for others.
For the Carefree team, it also represented the perfect excuse for a celebratory meal, during which we raised our glasses to all the incredible people who have made the delivery of 7,000 breaks possible. We also toasted all the remarkable carers who have benefited from a Carefree break, and those who will do so in the future.
As we reflect on all we've achieved so far, we take this moment to applaud the unwavering commitment of our community and hospitality partners. Each break delivered is a testament to your commitment to social impact and the power of our collective effort to make that impact a reality.
One of our carers, Holly, shared her experience after staying at Village Swindon: "I am so unbelievably grateful to be connected to this fantastic organisation. Thank you, Carefree, you are truly amazing!" Holly's words encapsulate the profound impact that these breaks can have on carers' lives, offering moments of respite, rejuvenation, and connection away from their caregiving responsibilities.
As we celebrate this milestone, we are reminded of the importance of our mission: to provide unpaid carers with the support and recognition they deserve. We believe that every carer deserves the opportunity to prioritise their own well-being and self-care, and our breaks are just one way to make that possible.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey. Here's to the next 7,000 breaks and beyond!
