| Case Study |
|
Earlier this year we had a series of TV Scriptwriting workshops. The Tutor was paid in time credits and decided to spend some of them on attending a four day Chartered Institute of Environmental Health course in Professional Training. The financial cost was covered by London Time Bank. He has since accepted an offer of a full-time job, after a long period without paid employment. His partner e-mailed the time bank and told us:
�I have to personally thank you for giving Simon the opportunity to teach the script writing class by the way. It really got him through his unemployment blues. He said to me that through his 8 months unemployment you were the only person / organisation that treated him like a human being and looked at his strengths and not his weaknesses.�
