We are interested in helping your groups or community to start a timebank. We have been well resourced by Project Lyttelton and the Tindall Foundation and have taken some time to adapt an international system to our local kiwi context. We would like to share our experience and resources with you.

 

Benefits of Timebanking

Lyttelton Time Bank is set up to strengthen our community. We want neighbours to meet each other, feel confident helping each other and to grow in awareness that we are a community growing strong together.
