I want to transform people's perception around generosity and the importance of reciprocity, meaning it is as important to receive as it is to give. I have been raised with the understanding that receiving is a gift of connection and inclusion. I strongly welcome everyone to get involved in our treasure that is the Wellington Timebank if you are not already an individual or organisational member. Encourage your friends, family, neighbours and organisations to be part of a movement for good.

I have been a part of the timebank for over 6 years. One of the biggest motivations for being a part of timebank is because it gave me the luxury to meet like minded people who wanted to build a community around them that they truly believe can sustain based on kindness and sharing of resources. I decided to join the steering committee to be someone who can help keep the ship sailing forward!

Ellie is originally from Australia, via the UK, and has been in Aotearoa for some years, mostly loitering around Newtown. She is in love with the ocean and is passionate about social justice. She is currently overseeing Timebank as manager.

Bernadette has been a long time Timebank member and a Steering Committee member since 2019. One of her favourite trades was a Kyaking trade with Lainey, a fellow Timebanker and ex-steering committee member! They spent the day paddling out in the harbour. Bernadette provides great support to the Wellington Timebank through her keen attitude and community mindedness.
