The fund is open to unpaid carers of all ages from 8 years old upwards, regardless of who you are caring for. To apply for a Time to Live grant from Angus Carers Centre, Carers will have to meet the following criteria set by The Short Breaks Fund:

• Applicants must be Adult Carers, Young Adult Carers or Young Carers.  A Carer is defined as someone who provides unpaid support to a family member or friend who could not manage without this help due to a long-term illness, disability, mental health, or use of substances.
• You do not need to be registered with Angus Carers Centre to apply.
• Registration is welcomed but should you choose not to register with us you will need to provide the name and contact details of someone who knows you in a professional capacity such as a carer support worker, health professional, Guidance Teacher, or GP.  We will need to contact them to confirm your caring role.
• You must live in the Angus Council area.
• You must not have received funding in the last 12 months through any Time to Live grant.

Time to Live is a funding programme of the Short Breaks Fund, operated by Shared Care Scotland on behalf of the National Carers Organisations and the Scottish Government.
