What people say

Hear from businessess in our network!

“Time Credits allow us to support people to access our venues who wouldn’t necessarily come to visit for various reasons. We are also then able to open up more access to our local communities in and around our venues by attracting local people, as well as tourists. Overall, it’s been a really positive experience working with the Tempo team as they hold the same shared values and key drivers as we do which makes Tempo a good organisation to work with.”

Rhiannon Gamble

People Business Partner, Volunteering & Community National Trust

“Accepting Time Credits allows us to be more accessible and inclusive for those who might have barriers to accessing our venues for a variety of reasons, such as finance or opportunity, which in turn supports us to draw new and different people into our venues who might not otherwise visit us”.

Can Tempo Time Credits be backdated?

No — Tempo Time Credits cannot be backdated. They should be awarded as close as possible to when the time was volunteered. This is to avoid flooding the local network with large numbers of credits at once and prevent people from accumulating a large stockpile that may lose perceived value. (Tempo Time Credits)
