Horizon scan, innovation. Timebanking exchange of time and services
Timebanking is an exchange ‘currency’. People ‘deposit’ their time such as an hour spent helping and supporting others, and they can ‘withdraw’ time by receiving support and help from others when they need something. People with disabilities could benefit from this system as their withdrawal time could be in the form of having someone assist them as they navigate the city.
