TimeBanking is a concept originally started by an American lawyer called Edgar Cahn.
(Read more about his adventures in his personal history of setting up his first timebank in his book - “No More Throw Away People”!)
A timebank is a community based resource in which people do work for each other... but with a twist. Where ordinarily you might expect to be either volunteering or paid with money, if you do work for someone through a timebank you would be repaid directly with work done for you, from other members of the timebank. The only stipulation is that the amount of work you get back takes the same amount of time that your work did to start with. Work is counted as earning “time credits”, typically 1 hour = 1 credit.
And by “work”, we really mean “anything you want to happen”. So you could do an hour’s worth of dog-walking, fence-painting, gardening, bike repair, laundry, graphic design, DJing, car-cleaning, or whatever whatever you fancy, and in return you could get an hour of companionship, your shopping done, get a lift to a relative’s house out of the city or anything else that takes the same amount of time that you originally spent helping out.
