Sharing Time, Building Community

What is Timebank?

Timebank is a community-driven exchange system where people trade skills and services using time as currency.

Give an hour of help, get an hour of help in return through time credits It’s a way to recognise and value everyone’s skills equally.

Timebank is a network of generosity, where every hour given is an hour gained, strengthening the fabric of our community.
