Time and Talents

Time and Talents Time & Talents is a lively, busy community organisation based in Rotherhithe, Canada Water and Bermondsey. https://linktr.ee/timeandtalents

Set in a leafy heritage venue, as well as in T&T2, our second venue in Surrey Quays Shopping Centre. Time & Talents has something for everyone. We have a history stretching back almost 140 years. Since day one, we’ve been supporting local people of all ages, and bringing people together for mutual support, fun and friendship. With a wide range of activities at our centres, along with volunteering

and schools’ outreach projects across local neighbourhoods, we work to help everyone feel part of a community. We see a core part of our work as providing ways for people to connect and share their time and talents, including a wide range of volunteering opportunities, skills-sharing, and opportunities to socialise. We want to connect neighbours close and far, to reduce isolation and build a supportive, resilient community.

This , we want to say a huge thank you to all of our volunteers - not just this week, but every week of the year. 🩵

At Time & Talents, our volunteers help create a world where everyone feels part of a community. Whether they're offering a friendly welcome, sharing their talents, supporting activities, or simply being there for others, their time and kindness make a huge difference.

Volunteering has been at the heart of Time & Talents since 1887, when our charity was founded by local volunteers who wanted to support their neighbours. Nearly 140 years later, that same spirit of community, connection and care continues to shape everything we do.

To every volunteer, past and present: thank you. We simply couldn't do it without you. 🙏

This , we're shining a light on the power of community support and connection. 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦

Our welcoming Ruby Tuesdays groups are a space for people living with dementia and memory difficulties to come together to socialise, enjoy activities and gentle games and build meaningful connections. Alongside this, carers can access support and advice and connect with others who understand their experiences.

At Time and Talents, we believe that community-based support is vital to reducing loneliness, maintaining confidence, and creating moments of joy and belonging, especially because dementia support is about living well, staying connected, and ensuring no one feels alone. 💙

This Dementia Action Week, find out more about our Ruby Tuesdays sessions and help ensure that everyone feels part of a community - where no one feels alone or left behind.

What an epic day we had yesterday at our Marathon Community Day! A HUGE thanks to our seven amazing runners who all finished the race and helped to raise thousands of dollars so that we can keep all of our activities and transport to and from the centre free for all who need.

To our mighty group of volunteers who helped us sell raffle tickets, make signs, and were part of our fab cheer squad - thank you. Without you gifting your time, we wouldn’t have been able to make this event happen.

To you, our community, thanks for coming out, getting your face painted and for cheering on our runners.

And to our wonderful staff team and Board of Trustees, for making the time on a Sunday to come and join the fun.

This event would not have been possible without the generous support of , we are so grateful for your contribution. And to the team at at for your donations of food and drink - thank you.
