The Paul Hamlyn Foundation awarded TBUK a two-year grant, targeted at young people who were excluded, or at risk of being excluded from school or college. TBUK worked with Simon Ghartey of Progress to establish the Eco-Stars Time Bank with young people from Brixton. Eco-Stars developed community gardens with youth and community groups and schools. Four youth time banks were created, with young people involved in their running and management from the outset. Nearly 1,000 young people benefited from the scheme, directly or indirectly, and learned new practical and social skills. 90% reported improved confidence and 63% reported improved attitude and attendance at school.
