Why Send Staff and Volunteers to Turadh?

• To prevent burnout. A week at Turadh can help someone press pause, remember why they do their work, and recover the energy to keep going.

• For recognition. If you are supporting staff to do work that sometimes feels both relentless and thankless, a stay a Turadh is a way of letting them know you see and value what they do and want to ensure they are looking after themselves too.

• It’s a very straightforward form of support. No lengthy applications, no bureaucracy. Just confirm the person works or volunteers with you, and we'll take care of the rest.

Four Ways to Use Turadh

1. Invite Staff or Volunteers for week of Rest & Renewal

   Any organisation working for the common good in Scotland can encourage their staff or volunteers to stay with us. There's no formal partnership required—anyone on your team can apply whenever they need a break. Your organisation can choose to fund the stay (typically £200-350 per week), or the team member can contribute what they're able to on our sliding scale. Apply here →

2. Nominate Someone for a Weary Angel Gift Stay

   If there is someone in your team who gives and gives to others and then forgets to look after themselves, consider nominating them for a Weary Angel gift stay. The nomination takes just a few minutes. We handle everything else, including letting them know they've been nominated and arranging their stay. Nominate a Weary Angel →

3. Complete Important Work during a Winter Residency

   Our Winter Residencies offer two weeks of focused time for people who need space to develop a new vision, complete a significant report, plan a campaign, or progress an important project. These are extended stays that combine rest with the time and quiet needed for deep thinking and creative work. Learn more about Winter Residencies →

4. Become a Partner Organisation

   Make Turadh a regular part of your organisational wellbeing offer and arrange a partnership that allows you to book multiple stays throughout the year. Email us at hello@turadh.org.uk to discuss your needs. We’ll make it as easy as possible.

Funding Options

Every organisation we work with is different, and liaise with you to establish the best way to make things work. The funding options available include:

1. Organisation-Funded Stays
   Many organisations pay the subsidised rate (typically £200-350 per week) for staff or volunteer stays.

2. Individual Contributions
   The person applies and contributes what they're able on our sliding scale. Your organisation simply confirms they work or volunteer with you.

3. Hybrid Approach
   Some organisations fund stays for staff and encourage volunteers to apply individually. Others fund one or two stays per year and ask individuals to contribute for additional stays.

4. Bursary Funded Stays
   We have a bursary fund that can cover up to 50% of costs for people on very low incomes.

5. Fully Funded Stays

   We have an allocation of fully funded stays to distribute every year. If your organisation is very strapped for funds, please contact us to discuss how we can help.

What Our Partners Say

"We've sent six staff members to Turadh over the past year. Every single one came back lighter, clearer, and more connected to why they do this work. It's the best investment we've made in staff wellbeing." — Chief Executive, National Health Charity, Edinburgh

"As an organisation supporting those struggling with poverty, we can't afford fancy staff benefits. We are so grateful to be able to send one of our Food Bank Managers to Turadh every few weeks. It makes a such huge difference to morale." — Manager, Trussell Network

"Turadh helped us support a staff member who was on the edge of burnout. They arranged for her to stay at very short notice and she came back renewed and is still with us two years later. Without that break, I honestly think we'd have lost one of our best people." — Director, Refugee Welcome Centre, Glasgow

"We include Turadh stays as part of our staff wellbeing offer. It sends a clear message to our team about how much we value them." — CEO, Youth Services Organisation, Highlands

"We didn't have a formal partnership—we just got in touch when our project manager was running on empty. The process was so straightforward, and the impact was profound." — Lead, Small Environmental Charity, Borders
