Redbridge Timebank is to run fab half hour workshops at Green Fair to showcase sharing economy
Sophia Hubs is delighted to share community knowledge and expertise…
The Redbridge Green Fair is the only green fair left in London and is organised totally by volunteers. It wants to promote the Timebank and is offering a free stall in return for a full programme of 30 minute workshops offered by our Timebank members.
We aim to strengthen and develop tighter bonds within the community through helping each other with exchanging skills that we acquired through life. We use the “hour” as our currency. We register our profile on the website at www.sophiahubs.com/sevenkingstimebank/ and then start trading with other members.
The Timebank allows us to rediscover old traditions of helping one another… and to rediscover people around us in an often very disconnected current world. It is also a great and practical way to help start-up business and businesses in general to connect with more people
(potential customers!), gain experience and testimonials, get help for free.
Make sure to visit our stall and try out a Timebank taster. We hope to recruit 50+ new members and more volunteers (who get ‘paid’) to help us expand

- 12.15 – Jitendra Makvana (start-up business in an ambient lighting product) will demonstrate how to connect a solar panel to a 12 volt rechargeable battery. Such a solar panel can be placed inside the house, somewhere which receives sunlight. From this power source we can light a low LED light, which can be used for example as a night light. It produces light similar to moonlight.
