I joined TimeBank
Recovering from a serious illness TimeBank seems a wonderful opportunity to exchange and connect with other people in a very human and pure way and to be able to share the skills and experience we all carry.

How It Works
Jenny helps Enid by doing some shopping. 2 hours. (2 time credits earnt). Enid gives Michelle a knitting lesson. 1 hour. (1 time credit earnt). Michelle gives Adam a hair cut. 1 hour. (1 time credit earnt). Jenny has 1 credit left in the TimeBank and spends it on a yoga class.

For every hour’s help a member gives another, (eg guitar lesson, digging garden, giving a massage), they receive one time credit which they can spend on receiving help from another member (eg fixing a bike, setting up a wifi connection, hanging some wallpaper).

Time credits are banked in the TimeBank using a software package called TimeOnline and the TimeBank timebroker matches up the giver and receiver.
