• Since 1960, the charity has supported thousands of children to change their lives for the better, with the support of volunteer carers and mentors
• Time for Kids has over 140 children actively engaged with its volunteer respite program each year, and a further 250+ children receiving alternative forms of support
• Time for Kids receives limited government funding and has exceptional support from the philanthropic and business community.
