Time Together

Time Together supports people with a learning disability and autistic people in the Harrogate area to live life well, with focus on independence, well-being and community connection. This is achieved through the provision of one-to-one support and facilitation of inclusive clubs, groups, trips, events, and other opportunities. Alongside meeting basic support needs, the emphasis in all our group activities is promoting shared enjoyment and improved social opportunity for people who are otherwise vulnerable to becoming isolated, with focus on independence, well-being and community connection. Whilst keeping clients very much at the centre of our work, as a caring charity, we have a clear responsibility to review and strengthen our purpose, objectives and effectiveness of support provision. Our approach is characterised by gradual progressive changes which build on successes without jeopardising continuity. The principal activity of the charity is to promote and create valued social roles for disabled people, to support disabled people to develop new and maintaining existing friendships and to enable them to contribute their skills and abilities to their respective communities. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
