Timesight


Welcome to Timesight Time Bank. Our time bank is for people living with disabilities, and people within  their communities, to share their time and skills. Everyone is welcome at Timesight.

For every hour you give, you earn an hour in return.

In timebanking, you help someone for an hour - reading post or filling forms, for example, supporting the use of specialist software, or even teaching a language. Whatever your skills are, you can offer them to other members of Timesight. And if you need a little help, you can post a request - or just browse to see what other members are offering.

Examples of exchanges.

Basics of timebanking

For every hour of help you give, you earn a timebanking hour. You can spend this receiving an hour from another member of your time bank. For example, you could learn how to cook a certain dish, or get help painting your fence. Everyone's time is valued equally, whatever skill they are offering.
