Timebanking happens when a group of people agree to exchange skills and resources for time-credits. Time-credits are a kind of money.
When a person gives one hour of service they receive one time-credit and this is stored in the timebank.
About Timebank Auckland
Timebank Auckland supports local Auckland timebanks to get started. We provide a platform to store time-credits and help as little or as much as the local timebank would like.
You can join the Auckland-wide network or a local timebank as an individual, a group or an organisation. There are currently two timebanks in Auckland, one based in Sandringham and one in Māngere.
Benefits of Timebanking
Timebanks are community-led, and run networks that enable people, groups, businesses and organisations to exchange their time, skills and resources. Timebanks have been shown to increase community resilience by creating trusted connections within a community. This happens when people:
- participate in their community and get a sense of belonging
- learn about skills they have to offer
- share and teach skills to others
- participate in activities and gain confidence through being valued for the skills they currently have
- exchange skills using time-credits.
