Mid-Canterbury Timebank Sessions
The Mid-Canterbury TimeBank started in October 2017. While it's relatively new the number of members are growing fast and so are the exchanges on offer. New learning sessions are out now (attached) and offer a variety of topics from cyber security, personal development, mortgages, arts and crafts, Maori pronunciation, and even, astronomy. An enjoyable experience to be had by all.
If you're new to the concept -
Timebanking is a way of exchanging skills and services in a community. Instead of dollars, time credits are used as payment. You earn time credits for the services (sewing/repairs, music lessons, food, crafts, dog walking, companionship, how-to, gardening, general help and more) you provide and then use the credits to 'buy' another member's time to get the services (as above) you need, or in my case, an extra set of hands to complete a task.
To see what's on offer visit www.mctimebank.nz... or Facebook under the same name. Great way to help, get help and meet some amazing people. Hope to see you there.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
