Give & Take Care

Give & Take Care (G&TC) is a time-banking scheme with the ambition to become embedded in society long-term G&TC is made up of CareGivers and CareReceivers, both of which are called Partners

G&TC delivers volunteer befriending support through organisations like HMR Circle, encouraging one-to-one support visits which can become long-term, meaningful relationships. We believe this will improve the quality of care for many older aduits by increasing connections with others and providing additional support with day-to-day activities.

The scheme is also available to people in existing family care arrangements, enabling family carers to bank some caring time for their own futures.
