Synergy Currency

Shall we start a Synergy Community Currency?

Syns! Hug bucks! Love bucks! Hobarts!

How to Start a Time Bank:

1. Participants list the services they can offer and those that they need

2. All agree to both give and recieve services

3. Everyone is interviewed and provides references

4. Every hour giving help earns the giver one credit called a time credit

5. Participants 'buy' the services and support they need with their time credits: every hour recieved is one time credit.

6. The time broker co-ordinator matches up the giver and reciever

7. Every transaction is recorded on a computer using a software package called Timekeeper

8. Participants recieve a regular time bank statement

9. One hour is one credit regardless of the skills one offers

10. Participants can donate credits to other participants or the 'time bank pool'

11. Everyone is seen as special with a contribution to make

12. All activities maintain set standards of care, including insurance and a code of ethics
