Time 2 Share is a registered charity working to support families who are caring for a disabled child or young adult. Since 1972 it has provided a short break/befriending service to give disabled children and young people, who may be socially isolated, the extra support and stimulation they need. It links volunteer befrienders to offer 1:1 support, company, independence and fuller participation in social and leisure activities. They also run a Bristol group for young people aged 13-20 years with a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome. This group meets three times a month on a Friday. This respite gives their carers the opportunity to have a break which supports them to continue in their caring role. Time 2 Share receives funding through social services to work in the Bristol and Bath and North East Somerset Areas. Each area is managed by a paid part-time co-ordinator. Under our current contracts we work with children and young people up to 18 years of age.
