Sustainable Cottenham is seeking someone who could spearhead the creation of a timebank or similar collaboration which would help reduce social isolation and loneliness in Cottenham. There are already many first-rate organisations in the village in touch with people but is there an opportunity to do more and collaborate, given the growing support for timebanks by the district and county councils? We are looking for funding to support a part-time post, but feel it would help our success if we already knew of someone who was enthusiastic about taking on this role.
If you would like to talk about this further, please get in touch with Christine Ward chris@sustainablecottenham.org.uk . For more information on how a timebank was set up in Cambourne see: www.scambs.gov.uk/community/a-toolkit-for-tackling-social-isolation-and-loneliness/case-study-timebank/
