Colchester Time Bank
Do you have skills that you would like to share? Want to learn to do something new? Give something back to your local community? Improve your health and wellbeing? Meet new friends?
Maybe you know how to set up a computer, bake a cake or have time to meet someone for a cup of tea. Perhaps you love gardening or can speak another language.
Timebanking is about sharing skills and time. Whatever your passion or expertise, everyone has something to offer.
For every hour you volunteer you can bank a Time Credit and ask for help in return.
Ashford Volunteer Centre Timebank is the first of its kind in the area, and although it’s based in the town centre anyone from the borough can join – we have members scattered far and wide! Do as much or as little as you like with AVC Timebank: join a bread-making class or come along to our Men in Sheds session; help do someone’s shopping or walk their dog; share your skills or suggest a group activity (pandemics permitting). Joining the timebank gives you the chance to help others, ask for a hand yourself, have fun with a new activity and get to know your neighbourhood, so what’s stopping you? Speak to our friendly timebank brokers if you’re stuck for ideas or need a little help getting started.
