Timebanking in the UK: It’s About Time | Sarah Bird

Recently our CEO Sarah Bird was asked to do a TEDx Talk.

Published on May 18, 2017
Timebanking can transform healthcare, creating mutual support networks in communities by encouraging people to help one another using time as a currency, not money. Timebanking reduces isolation and improves confidence. Sarah also talks about some of the challenges involved in creating and supporting a network including safeguarding procedures and software.

Sarah Bird is the CEO of Timebanking UK (TBUK) and has over 12 years of experience within the time banking field. She originally set up and ran a time bank, before becoming a consultant and project manager within TBUK. Sarah continues to develop partnerships and networks across the country with the vision of co-produced time banking being available in every town and city in the country.

She firmly believes that time banking – a reciprocity-based work trading system in which hours are the currency – brings a wealth of benefits to individuals and neighbourhoods. Sarah delivers talks, presentations and training days across the country alongside the team of indispensable core staff, associate trainers and consultants that are part of Timebanking UK.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Caritas Anchor House: Praise for Volunteers

In this month’s video blog, Director Keith Fernett praises the residents of Caritas Anchor House who are participating in the organisation’s volunteering scheme. Introduced by NUSHO, Caritas Anchor House runs a Time Bank. Through this scheme, residents earn credits for their time spent volunteering, which can then be used as social currency to access other sources of help and support. This gives them incentives to spend their time in meaningful ways, helping to boost confidence and self-esteem and ultimately increasing their job prospects. Over the past year, some residents have volunteered in excess of 1000 hours, both inside and outside of the organisation, and Keith reflects that this is likely a major contributing factor to the high number of residents gaining employment. He also adds that the volunteering work residents have been doing with rough sleepers throughout the borough is having a very positive effect. Seeing Caritas Anchor House residents and hearing their stories means that when the organisation is able to accept rough sleepers into accommodation, they come in with a very positive attitude and are eager to get help.
