Rārangahia Tātou - Putting the unity back in CommUNITY TARANAKI TIMEBANK
Trade your time, skills, knowledge & experience and get help you need that will make life easier for you and your whānau. We all have skills to share with each other, and in Taranaki Timebank, we trade in the precious currency of time rather than money, and in the process build community connection and resilience, social justice and equality. Aroha and manaakitanga, caring, are key. Taranaki Timebank members gift our time, and earn that same amount of time back, to use it for something we need done or help with. We help each other out with all kinds of tasks including but not limited to: gardening, admin tasks, cooking, craft, coaching, wellness sessions, IT skills, walking buddies, decluttering, running errands, holding working bees, or something as simple as having a cuppa. Whenever you gift your time, you will be credited back in the same amount of hours, which you can then "spend" on any assistance offered that you may need or enjoy, from any of the other Timebank members. We also offer events and have started Upsewing Taranaki (launched in Hāwera but coming to other areas) as a vehicle to keep textiles out of landfills,
foster creativity and community connection, and normalise use of te reo Māori in the wider community. Timebank Taranaki values whatever it takes to raise healthy, happy children, build strong whānau/families, revitalise neighbourhoods, intercultural understanding and collaboration, opportunities to advance social justice and make the planet sustainable.
