If you are currently affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND), you may be eligible for an MND Scotland Time Out Grant, supported by the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation.
Our Time Out Grant, supported by the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, aims to help give carers and patients a break from their usual routine.
The grant could be used to give couples or families time together, or for the carer or person with MND to have time out to themselves.
Grants of up to £1,000 may be awarded and can go towards covering the costs of things like:
a holiday or short trip i.e. for accommodation, travel, insurance, meals
regular time out to meet friends
pursue a hobby, such as gym sessions or driving lessons
or just relax.
"It's not often I get to spend such relaxed quality time with all the family without them having to help with some job or task that I need help with about the house. It was fantastic just to enjoy each other's company in a holiday atmosphere with nothing to do but relax, de-stress and enjoy ourselves. It was great to see them get a well-deserved rest after all they do for me."
