New Blood Entry — Time to Care

The task was to encourage carers to look after their own mental health and drive them to use mental health services.
71% of carers have poor mental health because they don’t have time for themselves and day-to-day tasks are challenging when they have to accommodate for the person they are caring for. Our solution is Time to Care - an app that makes time for carers to focus on their own needs, by using volunteers to help with time-consuming odd jobs.
People's desire to help has been proven when a million people offered to volunteer for the NHS and apps like 'Be My Eyes' have a significantly high proportion of volunteers to those in need. Using this generosity, a cycle of giving is created and carers will be able to free up some time to spend on themselves.
