October brings cosy evenings and practical projects — perfect conditions for sharing what you know and getting a hand with what you don’t. One hour in, one hour out. Simple as. If you’ve been meaning to jump back in, this is your nudge to log in, refresh your profile, and make a swap.

Your 10-Minute October Checklist ✅

Log in to your account: timebankireland.ie
Refresh your profile photo and short bio so people recognise you.
Post one specific offer — something you enjoy and can help with.
Post one specific request — something you’d like done or to learn.
Message a member to line up a time that suits you both.
Record your hours within 24 hours of the exchange.

Tip: Specific beats vague. “30-min radiator bleed & winter heat tips” lands better than “handy help.”

Quick Swap Ideas for October 🍁

Home cosy-ups: draught stoppers, curtain re-hanging, radiator bleeding.
Kitchen & harvest: soup lessons, batch-cooking, chutney/jam basics.
Tech tune-ups: phone backups, password manager setup, inbox tidy.
Study & admin: CV polish, budgeting spreadsheet, note-taking refreshers.
Wellbeing: gentle stretching, breathwork, guided local walks.
Wheels & lights: bike brake/tyre checks, route suggestions.

Safety & Accessibility

Meet in public for first-time swaps, share only the info needed to make it happen, and include accessibility notes (steps, parking, quiet spaces) in your posts. If something feels off, it’s okay to reschedule.
