Ryde Timebank is delighted to announce that their very first Coffee Morning, held last Friday, was a resounding success!
Liz from Ryde Timebank said,
“It was heartwarming to see so many familiar faces and to welcome new members as we gathered over tea, coffee, and conversation to share ideas and plans for the future.”
Members had the chance to discuss recent offers and exchanges within the Timebank, sparking lively conversations about how to continue supporting one another through the Timebanking community. Members chatted through group suggestions which included setting up a walking group (dogs welcome) which could be a great way for Timebanking members to get to know each other better.
The morning was filled with inspiration, cooperation, and a strong sense of community support. The positive turnout has meant that the next coffee morning is already planned for early December.
What is Timebanking ?
For those who may not know, Timebanking is a unique way to give and receive help. For every hour you spend sharing your skills, hobbies and knowledge, you earn a time credit that can be exchanged for time from another member who has a different interest to yourself to help where you need or to learn a new skill.
The beauty of Timebanking is that all contributions are valued equally, no matter the task—whether it’s gardening, offering advice or giving companionship every effort is appreciated and celebrated.
Keep an eye out for future updates, there are plenty of exciting activities in store!
“We look forward to seeing you at our next gathering”
