What is timebanking?
Timebanking is a hugely flexible tool where the sharing of skills and knowledge is rewarded by a local currency based on time.
Stepney Share™ measures and values all the different kinds of help and skills we can offer each other. In the timebank, everyone becomes both a giver and a receiver.
Everyone’s time is valued equally: 1 hour = 1 time credit
The timebanks can help to:
Bring people together in a spirit of equality
Value and record contributions to community life
Build an individual’s confidence and skills
Build organisational capacity
Build community networks and knowledge
Get things done that wouldn’t get done otherwise (by funding in time credits)
Encourage community participation
Who gets involved in a timebank?
Anyone and everyone!
A timebank is open to people of all ages, abilities, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. In fact, a timebank benefits from great diversity in its participants so that there is a wide variety of skills exchanged.
