Welcome to Sawston Timebank
We are the Timebank for the people of Sawston (and surrounding villages). This exciting venture is to bring the village community together by sharing our time, interests, knowledge and skills. Everyone is welcome regardless of age or abilities, including local businesses and organisations.
Sawston Timebank is helping with
supporting the local community efforts in Sawston to assist those in our
community in self-isolation.
Possible ways people can help are by doing some shopping for
someone, collecting a prescription, walking a dog, putting bins out or having a
friendly chat over the phone.
Please get in touch if you need any help or are willing to offer any assistance.
We have put on hold all events including the weekly coffee mornings but are here for you in other ways.
We are now having virtual coffee mornings twice a week and a weekly knit and natter for Timebank members.
Please get in touch if you would like to access the virtual meet ups or if you need anything.
This is your Timebank community, so we welcome your ideas and feedback as we develop and grow.

Timebanking is a
way for local people to come together and help each other by exchanging knowledge, help and skills.
Everyone has something to offer at the Timebank from making cake,
picking up a prescription, walking a dog, doing some gardening, visiting
someone for a cup of tea, whatever you
do will make a difference to the person that needs your help.
You get a Timebank hour for helping, which you can use
to get something back. That may be help with your mobile or tablet, learning how
to hem a skirt, someone picking up a loaf of bread, or gaining some new skills.
Everyone’s time is equal, so one hour of my time
is equal to one hour of your time, irrespective of whatever we choose to
exchange.
However it’s not just about giving and
receiving. Timebanking is also about bringing people together to build a
stronger, safer and happier community.
The exchanges can go on and on, as do the new friendships,
connections and networks that are made.
Members feel less isolated and more supported in their own community.
