Visit To Fair
Shares
On the 31st of March and 1st of April 2004, members
of the Islington Time Banks Network visited Fair Shares
in Gloucester. There was also a visit to the Stonehouse
Neighbourhood Project. The photographs displayed on
this page were taken during the Gloucester visit. The
visit enabled members of the network to meet brokers
and volunteers from other Time Banks. The exchanging
of ideas and experiences was appreciated by all those
involved. |

Fair Shares
Background
Fair Shares is a Charitable Trust and was set
up in 1998. It explores the practicalities of rebuilding
communities in the UK, by using time as a currency.
Inspired by 'Time Dollar', which runs in over 200 communities
across the USA, Fair Shares has established a number
of time banks in Gloucester. Working with Time Banks
UK, they also aim to raise the profile of time banking
nationally and offer support to other initiatives around
the country. |
