Outcomes achieved during 2025
We’re grateful for the generous support of our funders and partners, including:
My daughter felt really proud and appreciated when she was asked if she could run an Origami class for the other children.
I felt so lonely left with 2 young children and in despair as to what to do. Through the Time Bank both me and the children made really good new friends. Some were even from the same country as me!
My mental wellbeing has definitely improved as I normally love being with other people and in contributing and helping out
I now know places I would have never have found on my own and now take my children there
We have had the most amazing holiday at home!
I met new mums like me and when I go to the park everybody says hi! And my children play with other children they met on the programme
Gave me confidence and how to do it for myself and my children
