Social Impact Study 2023: A Testament to Community Strength
Discover the profound effects of communal support and shared skills through the lens of Timebank Ireland's Social Impact Study 2023. Our study delves into how timebanking not only fosters social connections but also cultivates a robust sense of community, highlighting the substantial social value generated by our members.
Key Findings of the Social Impact Study:
- Remarkable Social Value: For every €1 invested in Timebank Ireland, a staggering €16 is generated in social value, illustrating the powerful impact of communal cooperation and shared resources.
- Diverse Skill Exchanges: From gardening to web design, cooking to coding, our members share an array of skills, enriching each other's lives and strengthening community bonds.
- Enhanced Well-being: Our study reveals that 95% of members feel more socially connected, and 100% report improvements in their emotional, physical, and mental well-being due to their involvement with TBI.
Empowering Stories from Our Community:
