HOurBank

HOurBank gives Peckham people (and organisations or businesses) the chance to share skills and build community simply by helping one another. It’s a unique social group that runs on a simple timebanking system.

Here’s an example: Paul, a technology-prodigy, wants to spruce up his garden, but he doesn’t know the difference between a weed and a wisteria. So Paul helps Matilda advance her computer skills, and in return Matilda helps Paul with his garden. The HOurBank treats every member equally, and encourages each person to get involved in their community. The social group increases self-confidence and employability whilst enabling cultural interchange and active citizenship.

hOurBank is for people who live or work in the Peckham area. If you are interested in setting up a time bank in your area, please email info@timebanking.org.
