Timebankers enjoy taking part in group activities, sharing their skills and knowledge with others as well as participating in many different activities. Take a look at our videos to see what they get up to across the city!
Timebank means making friends and learning new skills. Information on things like water saving and fuel use etc. Most importantly, nobody is alone anymore. Pat.
A well organised event, with fun and laughter amongst from what I could see, many friends! I am new to Tea club and I will come again. Thank you. Terry Millard 1.9.24
Take a look at one of our Time for Tea dances. Hosted on the last Sunday of each month, they are a great way to meet new people, enjoy music and dancing and have a good sing along too!
Timebank South West celebrated 10 years of bringing people together through skills exchanges in April 2022. Here’s our montage of organisations and people who joined us to make the day one to remember.
We have been sharing skills, supporting organisations and helping each other out for over 10 years. Offering what you want, when you want to and feeling appreciated and valued. Everyone has something to share and everyone is welcome.
Pete was approached with a request to write and perform a Sea Shanty for Together for Childhood to showcase at their event on February 20th 2025. Jacky, a worker with Together for Childhood, met with Pete to discuss the song writing process and help him with any ideas. Here is the finished product.
Take a look at the last Repair Cafe of 2024. A small glimpse of the magic that happens each month. Loved items being restored, cranky clocks getting their cogs greased and so much more. Special thanks to @plymouthscrapstore and @borrowdontbuy as well as each and every member of our #repairingcommunity who make it happen each month.
What a wonderful sing-along in Barne Barton!
Here’s what happens when the Timebank Glee Club meets a Time for Tea dance! More music, more dancing and a lot more singing. What a wonderful afternoon.
The Age Positive project supports over 65’s to reduce social isolation and frailty. The project works across the city to support signposting to community social groups and activities, providing information workshops on staying healthy into older adulthood.
This video was produced for us by University of Plymouth Media Arts students. We were offered the opportunity to pitch Timebank to them as an organisation they could get to know and provide a piece of work for as part of their Collaborative Practice.
