Strong compassion for and a delight in helping others drives the Time on Your Hands team to support those in the community who have extra challenges in managing day-do-day life.  We pride ourselves in relating and communicating to individuals in a non-threatening manner.  This is paramount to developing trust, always resulting in win-win outcomes for others.

• Business Support within not-for-profit Community Organisations.

• Community groups.
• Elderly/retired.
