WHAT IS TEMPO?
WHO WE ARE
Tempo Time Credits are a charity. Everything we, and our volunteers, do is to achieve our charitable aims and objectives. We serve the communities of the UK and recognise the valued work of volunteers.
We build local and national networks of organisations bringing people together in their local communities to carry out valued and important voluntary work.
Our communities do this through volunteering. Volunteers receive recognition through earning Tempo Time Credits and use them with a range of local and national recognition partners.
We work with a range of organisations to facilitate the growth and development of our community groups and partners. We enable volunteers to find new opportunities and receive recognition for their valuable contribution.
Tempo Time Credits help grow our local communities by working with funding agencies and commissioning organisations, in a co-production model. Together we establish, develop and teach models of growth and sustainability.
We build communities, with communities and for communities.This is only possible with valued and committed volunteers.
We use Tempo Time Credits to recognise the valuable contribution of everyone in our communities.Tempo Time Credits are open to all those looking to make a difference and help their community.
OUR VISION
Tempo Time Credits exists to develop a world in which communities build themselves through enabling more individuals and more diverse groups of people to volunteer and support their local communities. We seek to develop communities where paid and voluntary work are treated with equal respect.
WHAT ARE TEMPO
TIME CREDITS?
Tempo Time Credits are offered to valued volunteers and service users as recognition for their valuable contribution.
Tempo Time Credits value the contributions people make. Organisations can offer Tempo Time Credits to people giving their time. Tempo Time Credits earned as recognition can be redeemed on a wide range of services & activities with our network of recognition partners.
HOW IT WORKS
The concept is simple: People can earn Tempo Time Credits when they volunteer with a charity or community group that is part of the Tempo network and can then use their Tempo Time Credits on a wide range of activities, products and services that they choose. These activities are provided by our national network of recognition partners and are essential to ensuring the volunteers are recognised for the invaluable work they do.
EARN TEMPO TIME CREDITS
You can earn your Tempo Time Credits by supporting registered groups, services and organisations by volunteering your time, skills and unique talents alongside other dedicated volunteers.
There are plenty of opportunities to try something new, revisit old hobbies and treat yourself and/or the family/friends at the huge variety of recognition partners.
