How it works

Introduction to Timebanking

Timebanking is a community programme that lets people exchange skills and services without the need for money. Each hour of help you give earns you one time credit, which you can spend on receiving services from others.

Joining a timebank

  • Sign up with a local timebank or start your own.
  • List the skills and services you can offer and those you might need.

    Example

    If you spend an hour teaching a member guitar, you earn one time credit. You can then use this credit to receive an hour of gardening help from another member.
