Welcome

Hello,

Thanks for picking up this Time Credit brochure, it will tell you what Time Credits are, how you can earn them, and how you can spend them.

You might not have realised, but Time Credits are being earned and spent all over the country. You’re now part of a network of over 16,000 people and hundreds of organisations who give their time to their community. Welcome to the team.

Here in West Norfolk, over 46,000 Time Credits have been earned already, and over 50 groups and organisations are involved. You can join in too, in a way that suits you. Have a look on The Team page to find out how.

We should probably introduce ourselves- we’re ‘Spice’. We work with people in your area to support Time Credits. It’s very nice to meet you.

How Time Credits WorkWe all need a little help sometimes, for lots of different things. Our communities are no different, and this is where Time Credits come in. If you give an hour of your time to your community, your community will say thank you by giving you an hour back to spend on something you like to do. Everyone’s hour is worth the same and everyone gets thanked. There’s no limit to how many credits you can earn, and the more you earn the more you can spend.

Time Credits never expire and they don’t cost any money. There are lots of ways to earn Time Credits across your community, and hundreds of ways to spend them across the country. You can earn and spend in a way that suits you. Why? Because everyone has something to give, and ultimately, because a bit of time together makes all the difference.

Carers or support workers are given free entry with anyone who has earned Time Credits and needs a bit of extra assistance. If you or someone you know or support have any specific accessibility needs, please call our friendly partners before visiting, they’ll be happy to help.

All the great ways to spend your Time Credits you see in this brochure are provided by businesses, councils and community groups. They do not receive any payment for providing these opportunities. We think you’ll agree that’s rather nice of them, so let them know if you enjoyed their activity, and feel free to tell them how you earned your credits. If you have problems with any of the opportunities listed, get in touch with us straight away so we can chat to these helpful partners of ours and iron things out.

We do not provide the services and activities where you can earn Time Credits or the activities where Time Credits can be spent, and so we accept no liability for the quality, adequacy, availability or any such services or activities.
