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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
