Funded by the ESF and in partnership with Creative Lives, the Warwickshire and Coventry CVS and the Atherstone Time Bank we delivered a one year long project ‘Sound Ideas’ providing media training to unemployed people in Warwickshire.

This is a project to help extend our work in prisons by researching and writing a guide for other prisons about timebanking, the benefits and how working with Timebanking UK could help them implement a time bank for prisoners and for those leaving prison to help them with their rehabilitation.
In this project, funded by Sport England and Disability Rights UK, time bank members work with people with health conditions or disabilities to engage in physical activity together. The aim is for people to motivate and support each other through timebanking to become more active in a way and at a time that suits them.
Funded by the ESF and in partnership with Voluntary Arts and the Richmond Fellowship, It’s About Time is a year-long project delivering media training to unemployed people in Liverpool.

This Sport England-funded three-year national programme, a collaboration between Timebanking UK, Serco and Alzheimer’s Society, aims to improve the physical and mental health of people living with dementia. The More Volunteering programme pairs people living with dementia with buddies to support them to access Serco leisure centres. The buddies support their partners while they visit the pool or gym, and earn a timebanking hour per visit, which they can redeem for a trip to the leisure centre for themselves.
