Ivel Valley Timebank (Biggleswade and surrounding areas)
Timebanking encourages people to come together in their local community to share their time, talents and skills.
The great thing about timebanking is that everyone has something to offer and everyone can take part no matter what skills or experience they have.
Timebanking operates on the principle that for every hour a person contributes they receive the equivalent in time credits. So for every hour you 'deposit' in a timebank, by giving practical help or support to another member, you can 'withdraw' an hour of support for yourself.
1 Hour = 1 Timebank Credit
What skills or services are shared?
To name a few!
What are the benefits to me?
But I don't have any skills to offer!
Something which you don't even think is a skill could be invaluable to another member. For example, companionship, having a chat or cup of coffee with a house bound member. Timebanking is open to everyone and everyone has something to offer - you'll be amazed at what you can do!
