Regional introductory courses on time banking and how to use the Time Online software

Advice and support to individuals and groups who want to set up a time bank

-
Awareness raising of time banking through press and publicity

Campaigning at policy level on issues that affect time banks, such as implications for welfare benefits entitlement
All activities are currently managed from our Stroud office, where most staff are based, but a regional network of support exists at a local level.

We are managed by a board of directors.
