TimeBank: You Get More Out Than You Put In
 
What?
TimeBank is a high profile national campaign inspiring and connecting people to share and give time.
 
How?
By using the latest web and database technology, TimeBank matches your interests and skills to volunteering opportunities in your area via a national network of TimePartners, who are primarily Volunteer Bureaux. TimeBank also runs targeted volunteer recruitment campaigns, partnering with a wide range of charitable and voluntary organisations. These campaigns cover a wide array of opportunities including sport, mentoring refugees, art, environment and helping schoolchildren with their reading to name just a few.
 
Once you’ve registered with TimeBank you will be matched with your local TimePartner or campaign partner organisation, who have the knowledge and experience to match you with the right volunteering opportunity.
 
Why?
Without the support of volunteers, many charities and voluntary organisations would be unable to operate efficiently.

· Over 22 million adults are involved in formal volunteering in the UK every year
· Formal volunteers put in some 90 million hours of voluntary work a week
· In monetary terms this equates to a whopping £40 Billion in unpaid labour

This has a far-reaching impact on public services, including education, health care, and judicial services.  But volunteering also has numerous benefits for volunteers, and can help to improve career prospects and managerial skills, as well as proving people with a sense of personal fulfilment and development.
