Respitality

An overview of what Respitality is and how businesses and carers can benefit

Respitality is a simple, yet powerful, initiative which offers unpaid carers in Scotland a much-needed break, through meaningful connections with local hospitality, tourism and leisure businesses who are willing to donate a break free of charge. Respitality is a Scottish Government supported project delivered locally by PKAVS Carers Centre and coordinated nationally by Shared Care Scotland. 

Why Respitality matters

Unpaid carers pay an important role in our society. They provide vital care and support to family members, friends and neighbours which can sometimes come at a personal, and financial, cost.

What are the benefits of donating to Respitality?

Through feedback from businesses who support Respitality across Scotland, we know that a partnership with Respitality, not only reinforces your brand values but reflects the warm welcome that Scotland is renowned for, the world over.

The process to donate is simple and breaks can be gifted at a time that suits your business needs. As well as a great avenue for your business to connect with your local community, it is also great for staff morale who see first-hand the difference their support makes to unpaid carers and their families.

Donating to a project like Respitality helps your business to fulfil any Corporate Social Responsibility commitments you have, which can result in improved customer loyalty (as global research shows that consumers are willing to pay extra for products and services from companies committed to positive social impact).

Local Support

We are very grateful for the support we continue to receive from a range of local businesses. Most recently Perth Amateur Operatic Society and Perth Festival of the Arts.
