...as I think it is a great tool for bringing communities together and raising people's community spirit. A way of getting people to give their time who wouldn't normally volunteer as TimeBanking is so flexible.

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.
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.
