If you're an unpaid carer in Medway you can now benefit from earning Tempo Time Credits for your service, to both your 'cared for' and the community at large. Each time credit can be exchanged for a range of activities and days out in Medway and London.
Befriending with MARR is coordinating the distribution of these credits, following our involvement in the Carers Poverty Project 2025, which saw us lobby government for increased carers allowance and to reduce the need for unpaid carers to use food banks.
To sign up to receive Tempo Time Credits simply complete this referral form and we will be in touch.
