A great start to the Whakatū Timebank (a working title) with a meetup at the Waa! on Sunday of people interested in getting it off the ground.

We have a timebank set up, if anybody is interested in trying it out feel free to join (click on the Timebank menu option above and then on the 'login' page just click on the join button). This is a bit of an experiment at this stage using the same platform as the Wellington timebank (this may change).

Note we do not have any vetting/interview of members in place at the moment so bare that in mind and use at your own risk. Perhaps only engage in requests for help with people you know/trust (we would expect people wanting to get involved would be nice people though 😊 ).

If you want to know more about timebanks, and why we're keen to get one running, there is a neat video from one in Long Beach here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yEfIgxViDc&t=196s and a TEDx talk of the Lyttelton timebank post earthquake here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQxryNvZnbI.
