Time Banks

Time Banks are a tool for building community. Time banks involve people on the basis of what they enjoy and can do. They provide the missing ingredient in public services - people's participation - by encouraging time givers of all ages and abilities to deposit their time and get that time back when they want some help themselves.
(From "Time Banking: A Briefing,"New Economics Foundation, 2001)
