For every hour’s help a member gives another (eg guitar lesson, digging garden, giving a massage), they receive one time credit which they can spend on receiving help from another member (eg fixing a bike, setting up a WiFi connection, hanging some wallpaper).
We are a member-led organisation which facilitates and strengthens the informal economy between creative professionals. We exchange skills and knowledge by using time as a currency. One hour of your skill equates to one hour of another member’s.
Settle Timebank, covering the Settle and surrounding rural community, was set-up in 2015. We facilitate a variety of time exchanges, including working on our allotment, walking buddies, simple DIY and arts events. We are also currently running a social with a light lunch and an opportunity to have computer help each Thursday 10-2pm at the Quaker Meeting House (opposite the Victoria Hall).
Our members include older people, retired professionals, people seeking work and new skills, younger people wanting to help out in the community. We welcome new members, so do get in touch to find out more and to get started.
