Hello Timebank members, friends and supporters.
Where did March go?
This month has flown past and we are fast approaching our anniversary event on Friday 1st April.
We look forward to welcoming you into the Plymouth Guildhall to enjoy activities, refreshments and making new connections.
As we have been rather busy with organising the event this months newsletter is a little shorter than usual.
That doesn't mean we haven't been doing what we do best; bringing people together and helping each other out. Take a look at some of our recent exchanges below along with things to look forward to in the coming months.
"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold, when it is summer in light and winter in the shade."
Charles Dickens

Above, clockwise from the left - Leanne sits with Nibbles to give the furry friend's nails a clip. Zoe was very pleased to have help with this as she is too nervous to do it herself. Tony and Adriana from Efford Timebank help out with tree pruning at the Community Orchard off' Pike Road, working alongside Tess Wilmot of Growing Community Abundance. Robert T shared his water colour painting skills with members room Stonehouse Timebank. Robert has also recently visited Whitleigh to show his presentation on WWII internment camp artists. Phil earned himself hours for tackling Rachelle's IT troubles, her laptop was unresponsive but Phil so got it up and running again, great job!

From pirates to pyrotechnics, live music to military moments and food festivals to family fun, Plymouth’s 2022 calendar is jam-packed with unmissable events.
The plan for 2022 includes the return of some beloved events on the waterfront and throughout the city centre, which haven’t been able to take place since 2019 due to the ongoing pandemic.
