The West Euston Time Bank

WHAT IT'S ABOUT

What is a Time Bank?  

A time bank is a way for people to share skills with other in their local community and be rewarded for it - in time.

For every hour of time you give providing a service for another member, you receive one credit.

APPLICATION

Like many organisations in the voluntary sector it is our policy to meet with you for an informal chat before you sign up to be a time bank member. 

If you decide to become a member we then require two references from people who know you very well (not family). It can be your present/past employer, doctor, apartment warden, religious preacher etc). Again, if you have further queries we can discuss it in our introductory chat! 

In preparation please take a look at links below.
