Time banking could be for you.

Time banking is about creating a web of connection between individuals with every exchange of skills is an opportunity to give and receive and to build a stronger community.

The guiding principle is that there are no throw away people and is based on the work of Edgar Cahn, founder of Time Banking in the United States.

Time banking is a form of community skills swapping where no money is exchanged, just time. It is especially useful for those who are not on social media, or who want a more private way of obtaining, or providing assistance.

Get Creative

Everyone has skills to offer.

Things that  we are good at, things we enjoy.

Sometimes people feel they have no spare time however if we do things we like and get another member to do the things we don’t enjoy so much - everyone benefits!

Offers and requests could be cooking, sewing, gardening, childminding, transport, wood stacking, computer help, music  lessons, storytelling, and companionship.

Get creative.

Everyone has a skill to share.

Keep an eye out on facebook for upcoming events, workshops and happenings that you can be involved in, as a participant or to offer your skills.
