Timebanks
Timebank is the name for Age UK Gateshead's skill-sharing project. Timebanking is similar to traditional volunteering, in that people use their skills and talents to help others. Where it differs is that for every hour you give you will get a one hour timebank credit, which you can use when you need some help yourself.
With timebanking, everyone has something to offer. Members can also earn credits by helping to organise community events or activities.
The project works in neighbourhoods right accross Gateshead. If you would like to get involved with the Timebank please contact Clare Cook on 0191 4773559 or email admin@ageconcerngateshead.org.uk|
