Laura’s story

Edinburgh

Received a Take a Break grant in 2021, which I used to buy camping equipment. I took a peaceful trip up the North of Scotland and travelled around for a week. This provided some much needed respite. Since then, I’ve used the camping gear 7-8 times and it will be very useful for getting a wee break this summer. I can’t emphasise enough how much this helps, just knowing I can plan a short trip at any moment, without any huge expense is a huge weight off my shoulders. I no longer feel isolated or unable to go places I’d like to go. The kids absolutely love it too, it can provide a little home away from home, on long days out. Thanks!
