PBLC's Charity 2018-19
MyTIME Charity and Outdoor Centre works to help 100s of heroic young carers across Dorset and the UK to take a break and have some well-earned fun for themselves! They have built a community so that young carers do not feel alone and forgotten, and are able to connect with others in a similar position, sharing experiences, finding support, and receiving mentoring and education.
Young carers are often invisible. Yet as many as 700,000 young people in the UK have their childhoods seriously affected by the need to care for a loved one. Although the charity can’t give them their childhood back, it is determined to make an impact on these heroic young people by bringing as many of them as possible to our outdoor centre for an essential break and some fun.
The outdoor centre is at Worth Matravers and it offers young carers plenty of time to enjoy a wide range of activities - giving them all the time and space they need.
Outdoor activities enable them to interact with young people in the same position as them and to create and develop friendships with their peers. There is an exciting range of activities to give young carers a memorable experience they will treasure.

PBLC raises money throughout the year by selling specially designed charity bone and wood bobbins by Stuart Johnson and lace patterns designed by a member of PBLC. At each of the bi-monthly meetings and Lace Day there is a raffle and all the proceeds go to the charity.
