TIME BANKS UK

Time Banks UK is a national charity and our aim is to create an environment where time banking can flourish. We provide inspiration, information and practical support for time banking to become a part of everyday life for everyone. We see time banking as the best way to restore a sense of good neighbourliness, to rebuild our communities and to encourage people to be active citizens.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
