Referral Process
Having decided that a break at KPS Trebullom is what you really need the first step is to call us to discuss your requirements and request an information/referral pack; (referral forms can also be downloaded from this page by click 'Referral Form' adjacent)

With pack in hand we advise that you  approach your a social worker, clinical nurse specialist or other professional party (i.e. Crusaid, Children with AIDS Charity, Terrance Higgins Trust, a Local HIV Support charity or similar support organisations) to discuss the availability of help with respite funding in your area.

As our referral process is quick and simple your advisor can help support you through the very flexible process. Should funding help be unavailable in your area, they maybe able to access charitable trust funding on your behalf.

You can of course self-refer but in doing so will incur the liability of respite charges yourself.

Once funding has been agreed we can then take provisional bookings directly over the telephone. It is vital however that a completed copy of our referral form be returned to us ideally 14 days prior to the booking. Once received a letter of confirmation and welcome pack will be posted out by return.

There are a number of questionnaires and forms listed on the adjacent button links that are created in either 'Word' or 'PDF Acrobat' formats that can be completed via your PC and sent to KPS as an attachment via email. Alternatively, you can complete them on your PC or with a pen, print them and send via the post.

Please Note: Some PDF Reader Software may not allow you to fill in the form and save. Alternatively use the Word Document 'Word' Format. Please contact us if you have problems.

Funding a respite stay

Depending upon where you live determines the help you may be able to receive.  Whilst most Social Services have resources available not all are able to fund a respite break outright.  Increasingly your social worker or referring agent (i.e. Crusaid, Children with AIDS Charity, Terrance Higgins Trust, Local HIV Support charity or similar support organisations) may need to look at applying to a small selection of Trusts that may help make up the shortfall to fund your stay - please ask for details.
