TimeBank Hull & East Riding

TimeBank Hull & East Riding TimeBankers share their talents, lend a hand & build wider social networks. And it doesn't matter what you offer or request: everyone's time is worth the same.

There's no cash at this bank; 1 hour of your time earns you 1 hour of someone else's time. A TimeBank is a tool to engage people in a system of exchange. It is a way for local people to help each other, be recognised for the help that they give and build relationships within communities. Everyone's time is valued equally, regardless of the skills being exchanged, using the hour for an hour princip

le. All activities maintain set standards of care, including insurance and a code of ethics. Every time someone gives an hour, (e.g. guitar lesson or a massage), they receive 1 time credit. They can spend this on 1 hour's help from from someone else (e.g. fixing a bike or hanging some wallpaper). Organisations can also join the TimeBank and put in resources in return for help from other members, whether an individual or another organisation. An example of an exchange could be offering a meeting room for 2 hours (2 time credits earned) and requesting some legal advice for 1 hour (1 time credit spent).

For sale
Blue, 9 tread industrial style step ladder. Little used in office location so in very good condition. Has handrail and top step is the platform step. With wheels.

Very tall so you'll need a long van/truck (and probably 2 people) to take it away and it won't fit into the height of a household
room.

The Shape of Acceptance is a youth-led immersive installation co-created by pupils from the Generation Hull Arts Council at Malet Lambert School in collaboration with artist Lauren Saunders.

At its centre is a shared act of hopeful imagination. Young people have built a parallel world where strange but compassionate Beings gather beneath a vast Heart Tree... a living presence connected through unseen roots to our own world.

When imbalance is felt across that connection, the Beings are drawn together. Their ritual is not spectacle, but compassionate response - a collective movement shaped by care, attention, and the possibility of change.

Through sculpture, storytelling and world-building, the group has created a mythology of their own making. It is shaped by their ideas and hopes around acceptance, identity and connection. Each Being holds traces of its maker - fragments of identity, emotion, resilience and hope - forming a shared narrative and mythology built entirely from their voices.

A celebration event will take place on Wednesday 24 June 2026, inviting audiences to experience the work as it comes to life through gathering and shared encounter. Please book a ticket so we know how many people to cater for. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/exhibition-launch-the-shape-of-acceptance-tickets-1990383265928

Many thanks to those supporting this project: Generation Hull, Lauren Saunders, Arts Council England, Hull Libraries, Hull City Council, G . F Smith, Esteem, the Tree Stories Project, TimeBank Hull & East Riding Malet Lambert, and others.
