Timebank Auckland Network

How We Work

Timebank Auckland is a member-based community where people exchange time, skills, and support. To take part, you’ll need to become a member. The joining process is simple and usually takes about one week.  

Who Can Join?

Anyone is welcome to join if they want to participate in the community we’re building. We are an open network, and we also value knowing the people in our community. For this reason, new members are asked to be either:

• Connected to an existing member, or
• Able to provide a referee

This helps us build trust and smaller circles of connection where people look out for one another.  

Safety

Timebank Auckland is built on trust and relationships. While we take steps to support a safe community, members are responsible for their own safety and are encouraged to use common sense when arranging exchanges.  

Membership Types

How Members Connect

Members connect in several ways:

• Timebank software
  Members create an account to list offers and requests, message each other, and record exchanges.
• WhatsApp and Facebook
  Many members also use WhatsApp and our private Facebook group to connect, share time-sensitive offers and requests, and find out what’s happening in the community.
  (The Facebook group is open to non-members.)

Non-members are welcome to join the private Facebook group to learn more about timebanking and local community activity.
