“St Ives’ answer to exchanging knowledge and skills, where the only currency is time. An exciting venture where people in the town are volunteering their own time and skills in return for other people’s. The project is strengthening ties in the community as well as bridging some of the gaps recent government cuts have created.”
“Our time bank enables people from all backgrounds to come together, sharing their experiences and skills. People who might previously have felt isolated or marginalised in society can begin to feel more involved with and valued by those living around them, increasing the sense of local community.”
“We’re a time banking project which aims to tackle the social isolation faced by adults in the Liverpool area who suffer from mental health issues. We create opportunities for people with mental health problems to exchange their skills and time and thereby improve their mental health by incorporating the five ways to wellbeing: connecting, giving, learning, taking notice and being active.”
“Here at the HOurBank, we’re building a community by simply helping one another. Community building helps people find friends outside of their usual circles, gives them experience and confidence in the skills they love, while making them feel valued.”
“We’ve been working with individuals, communities and organisations in and around Plymouth for 30 years and pride ourselves in putting people at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is to inspire and empower people to achieve their independence and aspirations and make a difference to individuals, groups and communities in Plymouth and surrounding areas.”
“Our vision is to achieve a cohesive community in the Rushey Green area, where neighbours know neighbours and can rely on each other for help and support. Where people of different ages, cultures, backgrounds and abilities interact with each other on an equal footing and with mutual respect and understanding.”
“We’re delighted to have received national recognition for the time and effort taken to ensure the quality of our time bank. Thanks to all the members and directors who’ve made this possible and thanks to Timebanking UK together with Voluntary and Community Action in Leighton Buzzard for all their help and support… thanks to the timebanking community as a whole who have shared their expertise, making the whole setting up process so much easier and safer.”
“We’re extremely proud to have been awarded this Quality Mark. We’re grateful to all of our participants and partners in shaping the future of the local economies and we look forward to helping others do the same…”
“We were absolutely delighted to hear the news that we have been awarded the TBUK Quality Mark.
