Exciting times at the Minehead & Coast Timebank where every hour counts!

Timebanking enables people in communities to help one another using time, not money, as the currency. Share your skills, get help when you need it and make new friends. Membership and participation is totally free! 

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

In timebanking, you help someone for an hour (or thereabouts) – for example by mowing their lawn or doing their shopping. 

For every hour of help you give, you earn an hour’s credit from your time bank. You can spend your time credit by receiving an hour of someone else’s time. For example, you could learn how to cook an apple pie, or get help with painting your fence. 

To see how a time bank could work for you, follow Sheila’s journey.

Everyone’s time is valued equally.

No money is exchanged, although participants may agree to cover expenses such as petrol money. Everyone’s time is valued equally: one hour of sharing your skills or helping others earns you one time credit, whatever the skill or task. 

Everyone’s skills are useful and everyone feels valued.

Timebanking works for everyone – individuals, organisations and society as a whole. People arrange to give time when it suits them, offering skills they enjoy using. It’s a two-way process of giving time and receiving time – and everybody has skills they can offer. 

– What help do you need with? 

– What skills can you offer?
