What is Time Share?
Who can join?
Watch the video for some stories from local residents participating in a previous timebank called EastXchange, which worked in partnership with Bromley By Bow Health Centre
How does it work?
For every hour that is shared with the community or local GP practice, a time credit is received, which can then be spent on learning new skills, getting support from someone else or on vouchers where available.
Time is exchanged through skill sharing activities and workshops. These sessions are facilitated by lead members in the community.
