Mid-Canterbury Timebank Sessions

Kristine from Ashburton District

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.

What is first white then red and the plumper it gets the more the old lady likes it?
