Time For You Service ( Sitting Services)

Please note: We are unable to offer volunteer sitters at the moment, but many of our volunteers are still in touch, with carers and the person they care for, through regular phone calls. We are not currently able to take new referrals to the service. We are currently exploring how to offer carers a ‘break’ remotely and will provide further information in the coming weeks.

We provide a short break service for carers in South Gloucestershire only (not currently in Bristol).

This is a free service for carers living in South Gloucestershire, which is provided by volunteers, all of whom are supported and managed by Carers Support Centre. This service enables carers to take a 2/3 hours break on a regular basis – usually weekly or fortnightly. Our volunteers go through a robust recruitment and selection process, and receive comprehensive induction and ongoing training. Our service coordinator carefully matches volunteers with the carer and cared for person. Many volunteers have been carers themselves.
