TiM supports the local area with befriending services and a cafe, fostering companionship and connection. Run for the community by the community.
TiM is a community of people who serve the community they live in. Currently we have 2 services: 1) TiM Friends - a befriending service that supports the elderly, the isolated and alone by offering companionship; 2) Cafe B - a community cafe offering good coffee, excellent food and a place to rest and chat and find new people.
Our services cover Burghfield, Burghfield Common, Mortimer, Sulhamstead, Ufton Nervet, Wokefield and the surrounding areas.
Why the community needs us
We enjoy bringing people together to make new friends, find a new lease in life and offer a safe place to be themselves.
Our impact on the community
In 2023 our volunteers provided over 4900 hours to provide the services. Our volunteers visit their 'friends' weekly and take them out on trips, helping them to connect to new experiences and old friends. Others send 4 hour shifts serving in the cafe, providing teas and coffees, nourishing food and good cheer.
