Time Designers Ltd

Time Designers Ltd provides the 24/7 Grid, a digital planning tool designed to support self-directed care and enable better conversations between individuals, families and services. The visual grid system helps map daily activities, support needs and associated costs across a 24-hour period, empowering people to design and manage their own support packages including direct payments and individual service funds. The platform calculates support costs in real time as activities are added, helping users stay within budget whilst encouraging creative approaches to meeting needs. It serves multiple contexts including transition planning for young people with EHCP reviews, support planning for adults with learning disabilities, and enabling unpaid carers to visually demonstrate the levels and intensity of care they provide. The system uses secure encryption to allow care plans to be shared swiftly with an individual's circle of support, ensuring all services work to the same up-to-date plan. The 24/7 Grid can also function as an assessment tool to identify where assistive technology or equipment might reduce barriers to independence and relieve carer stress. It supports partnership working between schools and families, helping transfer skills learned in educational settings into daily life, and provides visual tracking of progression towards greater independence.
