Crawley Time Bank, based at The Hub in the High Street, gives people the chance to share their skills in exchange for services or help from another person.

For every hour of time a person gives providing a service for another participant, they will receive one time credit, which can then be exchanged when they need something. This can include anything from gardening, help with the weekly shop, knitting, computer training or lifts to appointments.
