Charmaine Jacobs

My name is Charmaine and I am the Time Broker at Rushey Green Time Bank. Our aim is to empower local residents to improve their own health and sense of well-being, and thus improve the health of the community as a whole.

By the principles of co-production, valuing people and recognising them as assets, Rushey Green Time Bank is commited to increasing the 'core economy', those aspects of family and community that through reciprocity, equity, trust, love and care for each other generate wellbeing to sustain the human family. As one act of kindness leads to another, the core economy grows through a chain reaction caused by healthy and productive relationships that bind us together and provide a strong incentive to care for our planet.

WHAT AM I DOING? I will be doing a Tandem Skydive from 12,000 feet on Fri 3rd Sept 2010. WHY AM I DOING THIS? Simply because I am passionate about people and building communities! The proceeds raised from my skydive, will go towards fund... more

WHAT AM I DOING? I will be doing a Tandem Skydive from 12,000 feet on Fri 3rd Sept 2010. WHY AM I DOING THIS? Simply because I am passionate about people and building communities! The proceeds raised from my skydive, will go towards funds to sustain our time bank and generate money that is not restricted by 'specific' funding streams, but can be directly used according to the ideas, wishes and requests of our members. We will be able to use this money to support new groups, activities, social events, outings and resources that can empower our members to make things happen for themselves!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
