What Are Time Credits?

Time Credits recognise the time people give to strengthen their communities. As people get involved, they earn Time Credits they can use on activities and experiences they enjoy - from local classes to family days out. It’s a simple, powerful way to say “thank you” and encourage more people to take part, connect, and feel valued.
