SPENDING YOUR TIME CREDITSLondon 2017/18

Welcome

Hello,Thanks for picking up this Time Credits brochure. It will tell you what Time Credits are, how you can earn them, and how you can spend them all over London.

You might not know that Time Credits are being earned and spent all over the country. You’re now part of a network of over 35,000 people who give their time to their community and earn and spend Time Credits. Welcome to the team!

Over 135,000 Time Credits have been earned already in London and almost 300 groups and organisations are involved.

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.

Keep up to date and get in touch via social media!

How Time Credits workTime Credits are a way of recognising the amazing things people do in their communities. If you give an hour of your time to your community, your community thanks you by giving you an hour to spend on something you would like to do. Everyone’s time is worth the same with Time Credits, there’s no limit to how many Time Credits you can earn or spend, and as well as spending yourself, you can take friends or family with you or give them some of your Time Credits to spend themselves. There are lots of ways to earn Time Credits across your community, and hundreds of ways to spend them across the country. Have a look at our website for spending opportunities in other regions of the UK.

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. Spice do not provide the services and activities where you can earn Time Credits or the activities where Time Credits can be spent, and so cannot accept liability for the quality, adequacy and availability of these services or activities.
