Free BBQ - Find out about Volunteering and Timebanking

Starts: Wednesday, 13 March 2013 at 12:00 PM
Looking for a unique way to be involved in your community? The University is working with the NSW Office of Communities to promote a volunteering scheme in our region called ‘Timebanking’, and you can learn all about it at a free BBQ hosted by External Relations.


The Timebanking scheme allows the exchange of services between members. Maybe you’re good at gardening or dog walking. Provide these skills to a member of your community and you earn time credits which you can then use to receive services that are useful and valuable to you. Then look at what’s on offer from other members - guitar lessons, massage, language tuition – the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Want to know more? Come to the Auchmuty Courtyard on Wednesday 13 March, 2013 from 12 noon. Here you will meet the friendly members of the External Relations Team, as well as Timebanking reps who will answer your questions and give you all the details you need.

If you have any questions contact External Relations on 4985 4274 or engage@newcastle.edu.au
