Addington Timebank
Are you interested in getting a bit more involved in your community but perhaps feeling a bit short of time and unable to commit to regular voluntary work?
Are you already quite involved in your community and keep noticing that there are things that you would like to get done around your house that you never seem to have time for?
Does your community group need a few more volunteers or want to keep track of volunteer time?
Do you need help from time to time but are not sure there is anyone you can ask?
If your answer to any of these questions is “Yes” then Timebanking might be able to help.
At Addington Timebank we aim to recognise the work that many people put into their community and community organisations. People recognise and thank others for the help they have been given by recording time credits. If you are interested in finding out more check out our website below or phone Chrys on 0272 86 86 53. We are happy to come and talk to you about how the Timebank works and how it could work for you or your organisation!

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
