Saga And Free Holidays For Carers
It puts a smile on my face just writing this article. Carers are often the forgotten of society and it can be a thankless task - so full marks to Saga for giving this unloved section of society some recognition.
The company with it’s roots in the over 50’s market is set to offer free holidays to 100 carers a year. So if you know of someone who needs a break and is a carer - please spread the word…
In proof that private equity groups are not all bad (Saga is now owned by a private equity company) Saga will be creating the Saga Respite for Carers Charitable Trust which will include a fund of £200,000 to fund the offer.
Eligibility is defined as
“Any person over 50, who has been caring for anyone for a year - from a disabled child to an elderly relative - will be eligible to apply provided they have not taken a holiday for 12 months.”
Good on you Saga!
