We’re bringing the magic of timebanking to the Eastbourne and South Wealden area, rewarding every hour local people give to helping others with a time credit that can be spent either on whatever hour of help other local people are offering, or donated to others who have little or no time credits. In this way we hope to incentivise the mutual exchange of skills and resources within the local caring and sharing economy, which is especially useful during periods of economic recession when money is tight. Each hour of time is of equal value to every other hour of time, whatever help is given. We are a member of Timebanking UK, a national charity which is the only membership organisation in the UK that provides advice, support and resources to help implement and grow community time banks.
