Time Union is a time bank which aims to help people use their time to build their sense of self through relating to others, connect to Coventry as a community, and enable socially positive changes to come from individual acts of sharing. 

A time bank is a system of mutual exchange. Members share their time, assets, and skills on an hour to hour basis – share an hour with one member, and get an hour back from another. 

Time Union is free (it just costs time!) and open to all 18+ with an association to Coventry. It is based upon an ethos of equality, reciprocity, and asset recognition.
