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:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently

Established: 20 years
