What is the Time Bank? The Time Bank is a way for people to help others in their community and be rewarded for it – in time. For every hour of time you give helping someone, you receive one time credit. The Time Bank also runs fun, free activities in partnership with the local community. There are many ways you can help or get involved and there are also many ways you can receive help, for instance:
The list is endless and our amazing members always come up with wonderful requests and offer so much time to each other. To learn more about the wider world of time banking, click here. We also organise and participte in community wide events. Over the past years we have run some of the following community events with members of all ages getting involved:
Check out the gallery for photos of our members in action! What can you do with your time credits? You can ‘spend’ your time credits when you need help from someone else in the community. You can give them to another person who needs some help. Houghton & Wyton Timebank volunteers are also eligible to redeem their time credits through Tempo Time Credits, which offers a great range of educational and entertainment activities throughout England. Who can join the Time Bank? Anyone! Age, ability, lack of finance or limited mobility are not barriers to participating in the time bank. See the contact information below and give us a shout to find out how you can be involved.
A Time Bank is a fantastic way to meet new people and get involved in the community. We offer opportunities for all age groups to get involved and by giving your time to others you can support your community. Not sure if you have a skill to give? Give the Time Broker Vickie Graham a call to find out more.
