Timebanking in the UK
Origins • Utopians • M.O.R.E. • Japan • “Funny Money” • Fair Shares • Rushey Green
We can have what we need if we share what we have • Everyone has gifts to share • One hour is one time credit • Time credit = promise • Relationships • Collective memory • Community Pot • We do the asking • Do it when you can • Letter of introduction
IRON RULE: Never, never do for others what they can do for themselves. • People are reluctant to offer unsolicited help, they like to be asked first. • People tend to be ‘overcome with shyness’ when it comes to asking for help from others. • People believe that they have little of value to offer others. • People say that they want to give unselfishly and yet often feel disappointed when they don’t receive help in return.

"Paxton Green Time Bank is doing a fantastic job in helping our communities get together to help others and help themselves, sharing their skills and time. My background in mental health lets me really appreciate the contribution Timebanking makes to well-being, particularly for those who may be less advantaged in our communities: the social contact, the learning, sharing, giving and receiving, and the value of an increase in a sense of self worth that it brings to many people - and all while making friends and having some fun!"

The last twenty years… and all that David Boyle 5 September 2018 New Weather Institute /David Boyle
Cahn “Somewhere in the process something has gone wrong. If you're constantly defining people by what they lack or need, it's not difficult for people to lose sense of what they have to give. And it's not a humane way to live.” Edgar Cahn
Co-production origins
Ostrom “Co-production implies that citizens can play an active role in producing public goods and services of consequence to them.” Elinor Ostrom
Sampson “ A shared willingness of residents to intervene and social trust, a sense of engagement and ownership of public space ”. Robert Sampson on collective efficacy
Three big ideas 1. Professionals also need help from their clients, their clients’ families and their neighbours. 2. Service users are a wasted asset. 3. We all depend on the ‘core economy’.

Almost a definition “ Co-production means delivering public services in an equal and reciprocal relationship between professionals, people using services, their families and their neighbours. Where activities are co- produced in this way, both services and neighbourhoods become far more effective agents of change .”
Final reports
Final thoughts • I think I know what we did right! • It was the most thrilling period of my life… • At all costs avoid factions – people have different priorities.
