Going to Kew Gardens is such a treat;  meeting new friends while embracing nature. On the day we enjoyed a breathtaking orchids festival as well as strolling in the park where the first daffodils, crocus and primevera were pointing out their vibrant colours

Welcome to the world of neighbourhood time banking.

RocknKnit or KnitnRock ? That was the true question of the afternoon.

Patricia is our chef of the day and what a chef! her soup was a 3star Michelin one done with the winter vegetable.

Welcome to our new members

The more people share their time and skills, the healthier and happier your neighbourhood will become. With time banking, everyday acts of kindness are recognised as the important contribution they are to everyone’s wellbeing. Time banking is a new and safe framework for people to connect up with each other, a letter of introduction to neighbourhood life. Five easy pieces 1. People list the skills and experience which they can offer and those that they may need. 2. Everyone’s skills are valued equally - one hour always equals one time credit. 3. Everyone agrees to both give and to receive help, to earn and to spend their time credits. 4. A record is kept of all the time credits earned and spent, ideally on computer using the ‘Time Online’ system. 5. Everyone is encouraged to spend their time credits to allow others the chance to make a difference and feel needed. Everyone can chip in what they can, when they can and be valued for the contributions they make. We have found that at first many people do not appreciate that they have skills that will be of value to others. We are all assets, there are no limits to what you can achieve together.

A very good way of spending some time and meeting new friends: skills sharing

Skills sharing is everything from shopping therapy to salsa via flowers arrangement and decoupage without frogetting knitting. At our St Lukes hub, every 2 thursdays new skills are swapped with a lot oif fun.
