Time banking has grown organically over the last six years fuelled by the energy and inspiration of people who see its massive potential.  The time banking movement is just that - a movement of expanding and richly diverse time banks. Time Banks UK, which is now two years old, exists to help the movement succeed.  The Board, Director, volunteers and staff want to know how you think Time Banks UK can give the best possible lead for the whole time banking movement over the coming years. 

As the movement expands we need to get ourselves �into shape� by asking some key questions during June - August, by working together to understand the answers in October/November and by making decisions in December.  And we�re planning a conference for the whole movement early in 2006. The �Getting into Shape� process is for time brokers, participants, members of a time bank management teams, representatives of organisations, individual supporters � anyone and everyone who wants to help time banking to flourish.

You can respond to the key questions in whatever way suits you best, as a group or an individual, until Monday 24 October.  You may want to set up something special (like London Time Banks� event in July) or agenda time in a regular meeting.  Click here for the key questions and guidance on how to respond.
