WELLINGTON TIMEBANK
Welcome to Wellington Timebank!
We are a community that is all about sharing.
Everyone has skills and everyone has needs.
What you find easy or enjoy can benefit someone else and vice versa.
Together we can help each other.
Essentially we are a generosity network. We recognise that everyone has talent and skills no matter what age, background or circumstance.
And we appreciate that everyone has needs. We provide a space for people to connect and be part of a goodness network. You share your skills, knowledge or resources and in the future can recieve help that you need.
Our Timebank is a great place to meet people and get help with things that would make your life easier or more enjoyable!
You can also learn new skills and / or share your talents with people.
Everyone’s time is valued equally, regardless of what skills are exchanged.
Knowledge and skill share through member-led workshops
Meet other Timebankers at events such as The Timebank Awards and our yearly Good Stuff Gift Shop non-monetary market

We have lots of opportunities to share kai and kōrero at our Timebank potlucks

Here is what some of our members have to say about Timebanking:
