The Rushey Green Time Bank
Local People sharing time & skills to build happier, healthier communities
Welcome to our website...
Thank you for visiting the Rushey Green Time Bank Website.
We hope that you get all the information you need from our site, whether it be about joining us or learning a bit more about Time Banking in General.
Our vision is to achieve a cohesive community in the Rushey Green area, where neighbours know neighbours and can rely on each other for help and support. Where people of different ages, cultures, backgrounds and abilities interact with each other on an equal footing and with mutual respect and understanding.
The Aim of Time Banking
Time Banking is a community development tool and works by facilitating the exchange of skills and experience within a community. It aims to build the ‘core economy’ of family and community by valuing and rewarding the work done in it. Time Banking values everyone’s time as equal, 1 hour equals 1 hour, or 1 credit. For every hour you spend helping someone in your community you are entitled to an hour of help in return. All manner of skills are recognised from walking with someone to baking a cake.
“Timebanking is for a community where everyone is respected and valued."
