Description
We work in partnership with local authorities, Clinical Commissioning Groups, Health Boards, housing providers, health and social care providers, schools, voluntary organisations and businesses to fund, co-design and deliver each Time Credits programme.
Time Credits programmes build connections at a local level by joining up the public, private and voluntary sectors in a community. Individuals earn Time Credits through a network of local community organisations, charities and services that we engage and support to reach new people and thank existing volunteers with Time Credits.
We develop spend partnerships with public, private and voluntary sectors that enable individuals to access a wide range of positive activities. Spend opportunities across our UK network can be accessed by members from any programme. For example, someone might earn some Time Credits by volunteering their time for a community group in Lancashire, and choose to spend them on a visit to one of the many London attractions that accept Time Credits in exchange for entry.
Since launching in Summer 2015, Westminster Time Credits have worked with housing, libraries, homelessness services, education services, mental health services, befriending projects, arts groups, Team Westminster and a wide range of other local community groups and organisations. Supported by Westminster City Council, the programme aims to support increased participation and volunteering from all sections of the community and across all ages.
