Lyttelton Time Bank workshop August 22

Lyttelton Time Bank Workshop

The Lyttelton Time Bank was the first Time Bank in New Zealand. It is run as a project within Project Lyttelton – a grass roots community group www.lyttelton.net.nz Time Banks started in the United States and have now spread worldwide. There is much interest nationally in Time Banking.

What is Time Banking? How does it work? What do you need and how do you set a time bank up in your own community? Policies and Guidelines? Reference Checking? How do you get members to trade?

Our workshop will answer all these questions and more.
