Time Bank Lambeth

Time Bank Lambeth is a new and exciting way for people to come together to help others, and help themselves at the same time. Participants 'deposit' their time in the bank by giving practical help and support to others and are able to 'withdraw' their time when they need something done themselves. This way Time Bank rewards the time people spend building networks and encourages and contributes to the building of community by linking people up.

One of the principles of Time Bank is equality. One hour of help equals one time credit, whether the task is babysitting, DIY work or befriending. Another principle in Time Bank is that everybody has something to give, and everybody therefore participates as a giver and a receiver.
