What is the purpose of the Network?
The Islington Time Banks Network brings together four Time Banks already running across the borough and a fifth which is in the process of being set up. The Network aims to help the four existing Time Banks grow and to promote the creation of new Time Banks. It will offer support to organizations interested in setting up Time Banks in priority/deprived Islington wards. This in turn is intended to raise the levels of social inclusion, neighbourhood renewal and regional prosperity.

How many Time Banks are in the Network?
There are currently four Time Banks running within the Islington Time Banks Network: Hilldrop and Caledonian Road, hosted at the Hilldrop Community Centre. Caxton House, which is being hosted by Caxton House Community Centre. Mildmay, hosted at the Factory Community Project. Whittington Time Exchange, hosted by Hargrave Park School.
