Time4Leicestershire has launched in Melton and Charnwood, and if you live in one of these two districts you can register to join at time4leicestershire.org.uk. Timebanks will gradually be launched in every district across Leicestershire.
The Time4Leicestershire timebank scheme is an online marketplace of skills and is hosted by the Public Health team at Leicestershire County Council. It’s just one of many ways to help people across the county feel more connected to their local community.
We know that being connected within your community can have a significant positive impact on your health and emotional wellbeing. Time4Leicestershire can help you to meet new people, positively contribute to your local community and give you the opportunity, in turn, to learn skills to support with practical things such as gardening, helping somebody with IT, basic DIY, trying a new sport or hobby, arts and crafts and all kinds of other things.
Within Charnwood, organisations can also join Time4Leicestershire and encourage their employees and volunteers to timebank. This can count towards an organisation’s corporate social responsibility.
The Time4Leicestershire platform is an online marketplace of skills. Find out more and sign up on time4leicestershire.org.uk. Once registered, you can post offers and requests for the skills that you have or need!
