💙 TIME TO LIVE FUND💙

Are you an unpaid carer who could benefit from a little time for yourself? 🌟

At Angus Carers Centre, we know how important it is for carers to have opportunities to take a break from their caring responsibilities, enjoy new experiences and spend time doing the things they love.

Our Time to Live Fund is available to unpaid carers aged 8 and over and may be able to help with things such as:

🏖️ Enjoying a short break

🎨 Trying a new hobby

🎮 Choosing an item to enjoy in your free time

✨ Whether you’d like to try something new, create treasured memories, or simply take some time to focus on yourself, this fund could help make it possible.

🎉 Calling all local businesses! 🎉
We’re getting ready for our charity Bingo Night on 13th November, and we’re looking for local businesses who would be willing to donate a prize, voucher, gift, or experience to help us make it a night to remember! 🥳
Our charity supports unpaid carers, helping them access support, connect with others, and get the recognition they deserve.
Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our local community, we raised over £1,000! 🙌 This year, we’re hoping to smash that total and raise even more to support unpaid carers.
Whether you’re able to donate a small prize or something bigger, every contribution makes a difference and helps us make the night a success. 💜
In return, we’ll be tagging and thanking all businesses who donate across our social media, giving you a little well-deserved recognition for supporting such an important cause.
If you’re a local business and would like to get involved, please send us a message or comment below, and we’d be delighted to hear from you!
Thank you so much for supporting unpaid carers and helping us make this year’s bingo night our biggest yet! 🎱✨
