Our Impact: Independently Validated Social Return on Investment
For Every €1 Invested, We Generate €16 in Tangible Social Value.
Our results are based on a comprehensive, independent 2023 Social Impact Study, funded by the West Cork Development Partnership, which quantified our exceptional value. We provide sustainable solutions for social isolation and community resilience.
Profound Impact on Wellbeing
- 100% of surveyed members reported improved mental and emotional wellbeing
- 95% of members felt more socially connected, actively tackling loneliness.
- 90% reported an increased sense of independence and control over their lives.
- Our service has been described by members as "transformational and lifesaving"
A Public Health Solution
The study found our model is a highly efficient, effective, and scalable intervention for tackling social isolation. It explicitly concluded that Timebank Ireland “could become part of a social prescribing offering for early intervention”.
