Awareness Weeks
Surrey's Short Breaks Week, takes place Monday 1 to Friday 5 December in 2025 and is a celebration of the vital role short breaks carers play in supporting children with additional needs and their families.
Throughout the week, we’ll be hosting events, open days, and information sessions to help you learn more about Short Breaks, meet experienced carers, and explore how you could get involved, whether occasionally or more regularly.
