Time Bank Networking Session

The Volunteer Development Agency will be hosting a Time Bank Networking Session in the Agency on Friday 12th March from 10.00am - 11.30am.

The session will be designed to help interested groups come together to share information, and will also aim to provide practical support to those developing their own Time Bank.

Time Banking provides the structure by which people can come together in 'communities' to help others and help themselves at the same time.  Participants 'deposit' their time in the 'bank' by giving practical help and support to others are and able to 'withdraw' their time when they need something done themselves.

Representatives from Omagh Transition Time Bank and North West Time Bank will be on hand to discuss their experience of establishing time banks.  Both these time banks have experience of engaging with communities, using the time bank online software, seeking funding, carrying out time bank broker training and developing policies and practices.
