Gloucester

Set up in the year 2000, the Gloucester Time Bank is one of the largest and most dynamic time banks in England. We have participants from all over the city, from all walks of life, and it’s this great mix of people that makes our time bank what it is.

  • Exchanges between over 300 participants are organised by our timebrokers – these can range from changing a lightbulb to helping clear someones garden.
  • Our workshop, headed by Jon, is open to all to come and learn about woodworking and help with community projects or create their own items.
  • Our allotment, at St james City Farm, is run by Rachel and open to visitors. She regularly plans events for kids based around nature, especially during half-term.
  • Our Monday Lunch Club serves up food weekly and provides a place for people to meet up and socialise.
  • We have a popular craft club which meets weekly in the main hall at Chequers.

We like to think there’s something for everyone – everyone has something to offer and anyone can get involved.

If you want to find out more you can come join us on Mondays at our weekly community lunch at Chequers Bridge Community Centre. Food is normally ready about 12.30pm, but cooking and socialising starts earlier.
