Time Banking

 
Launch Oak House - March 2010
United Welsh launched a new Time Banking scheme at our Oak House hostel in Cardiff on the 3^rd March.  Time Banking at Oak House will support residents get more involved in the hostel and the wider community - learning skills and building confidence in the process! The Oak House Time Bank is the first to be set up with United Welsh tenants, and we will be launching the scheme for all our tenants on the 30^th April. 

Around 45 people attended the launch including Oak House residents, United Welsh staff, Voice for Tenants and Board members. There were also representatives from 12 other organisations including service providers, other time banking projects and two new partners providing access to opportunities through the scheme – Cardiff Council Leisure Services and the Gate Arts Centre.

The launch was a chance to award the first of the time credits to residents, and showcase the work of Oak House Hostel - which is celebrating its 5^th anniversary this month.
