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.
Sutton Time Bank
Welcome to Sutton Time Bank!
We officially launched in 2020. Sutton Time Bank aims to engage and bring together the community, creating social and practical support networks.
Rushey Green Time Bank
Our time bank is a community of diverse people who can find a project or a space where they can spend time and share skills with others as they wish. Whilst the exchange of skills is a core aspect of timebanking, our members are often in the time bank for the relationships and shared experiences of belonging, and feeling useful and valued in the projects and activities they partake in. By getting involved, our members help shape the ethos and values of the time bank.
Lee Fair Share
Lee Fair Share covers Lee and Hither Green and has been going for over ten years. We are keen to recruit new members as we believe everyone has skills to share, for example, gardening, befriending, DIY. In return you get an opportunity to ask for some help or attend the classes, groups, activities run by Lee Fair Share. At the moment we offer Coffee, Cake and Company, two walking groups – Hare (for the less mobile) and Tortoise (for faster walkers), French, two bookclubs, chair exercise and pilates.
For more information about joining the Timebank or about our classes/groups please contact us.
Your spare time is valuable so invest it well.
