Portobello Timebank

Portobello Timebank A Timebank is used to engage people in a system of exchange. Everyone's time is valued equally regardless of the skills exchanged.

For every hour of time a member contributes to help someone else they receive the equivalent in time credits which can then be exchanged for services when needed from others. For the individual there is the chance to get help with the difficult to do or get round to tasks – and to reciprocate. For the community as a whole there is the possibility to extend the reach of the community further and ac

ross age ranges and you get to meet new people. Everyone has skills, knowledge and experience to offer, which could be of benefit to someone else. In timebanking the level expected is you can reasonably expect from a friend or neighbour. The services could be listening and visiting, gardening and form filling, or sharing skills in music, knitting and using computers, to simple repairs, ironing and running errands.

Portobello Timebank have now bought shares in Bellfield's Big Build https://www.bellfield.scot/buy-shares-1 because we believe that supporting community development and improving community spaces is a key aim of Timebank too! Check out their webpage to see how you can support the transformation of the Bellfield hub to upgrade facilities and make more spaces for community events.
