About & Description

Time Banking is a way of trading skills in a community instead of money, and going strong here in Dunedin.

The concept is simple; Every member of our community has valuable talents and abilities to offer, timebanking allows you to record and swap these talents with others in a non-monetary system. Everybody's time is worth the same, an hour is an hour, to all of us. So you may spend an hour landscaping in my garden, for which you earn one 'hour' time credit to spend in the community, to get a babysitter, dog walker or lawns mowed. It not only offers a non-cash, non-growth based alternative to current economic systems, but enables a more meaningful interaction with the community you are part of. So what are you waiting for? Join us and get involved. See Dunedin TimeBank website for signup and further info.
