Portobello Timebank is a sharing community on the East side of Edinburgh with about 200 members.
Members help each other and payment is the time it takes. The person that helps, is credited by the amount of time taken and can subsequently use that credit to ask another member to help them.
There is huge satisfaction in meeting members, completing exchanges, making new friends and feeling part of the community.
