SPICE’S WORK IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE
The Time Credits initiative has really fired up some very vulnerable and, at times, isolated individuals to give something of themselves to others. Very positive reception from [mental health peer support group] members and I think it’s excellent and very motivating.
Mental health worker
I feel encouraged to attend a community group regularly and gain a lot of support from the group. I am also planning to
re-start an adult education course in September this year, which will help me gain confidence, increase my physical and mental wellbeing
and meet new people. Member

Do participants need to sign up for a set period
of time? No. A person might only ever earn one credit, or they
may earn them infrequently, or as often as they are able.
They will need to fill out a membership form the first time
they earn a credit so that we can start to build a picture
of the different people earning Time Credits in the
community.
How long do people have to spend their credits?
There is currently no time limit on credits, although we
do encourage people to spend them as this means that
they are availing themselves of useful and interesting
opportunities, and enables the circulation of credits as
an effective community currency.
How do we get the Time Credit notes?
The Locality Facilitator will sign out the Time Credit
notes to you when you have decided how you would
like individuals to earn and spend credits with your
organisation.
Someone in your organisation then needs to record when
you sign out credits for an activity. We provide an easy-
to-use form for this purpose. We need to keep track of
credits because they are a form of currency. When you
request more Time Credits from the Locality Facilitator,
we will ask to see this form to check that the number of
credits we have signed out to your organisation matches
the number you have given out. We also collect data about
what activities credits have been earned and spent on.
What happens to the information you collect?
We collect data on earning and spending so we can
monitor the growth and progress of the Network.
We also ask individuals to fill in a membership form when
they earn their first Time Credit. This is so we can start
to build a picture of the different people earning Time
Credits in the community and see if we are reaching a
wide range of people. We do not share any personal data
with anyone else.
We don’t have any budget for providing spending
activities. Can we still take part?
This is a common and valid concern and the simple
answer is ‘yes’. However, we do ask you to make a
commitment to thinking about how you might accept
Time Credits.
We’ll help you to link the development of spending to
your organisational objectives, and build it into current
projects or future plans. You could accept credits for
events or activities you currently charge for, such as
tickets to a school concert, or entry to an existing
fundraising event, or something new led by volunteers
earning credits. You can control the number of people
who can use their Time Credits at an activity or event by
limiting the Time Credit places available. You can also
work in partnership with other Time Credit partners to
develop spending.
How do we support people to volunteer if they have
complex needs?
Time Credits are a tool for broadening inclusion so
anyone can take part in anything that is appropriate
for them. We believe everyone has something to give,
regardless of age or disability.
We are working with a wide range of organisations
including day-centres and social-care providers to
develop ways that people can participate, and we
can provide you with support to ensure that
opportunities for earning and spending credits
are available to everyone.

map your assetsThese should include:
•People’s skills, interests, knowledge, talents and experience
• Physical resources such as rooms, outside spaces and equipment
• ‘Intangible’ assets – for example, your networks, your reputation or the knowledge you have of an area or community.
Involve your volunteers, service users and staff in identifying all the resources available to you. Think about how they are used at the moment and new ways they could be used, to identify possible Time Credit earning and spending opportunities.

Spice SupportSpice can help you to map out your assets. We’ll work with your service users or
community members & staff to identify people’s skills, abilities
and interests and help co-develop earning and spending
opportunities. We usually do this through fun, creative, interactive
workshops or open events.
To identify the opportunities for your Time Credits programme, the starting point is all the assets you have in your group, community or service.
You can use an asset mapping sheet to help people think through the different types of asset that exist:

Earning activities•How do people give their time now?
• Are there any activities that need more support?
• Could people who participate in an activity help run or lead it?
• Do service users or volunteers support staff to deliver activities?
• What resources could be used differently – e.g. creating a vegetable patch or flowerbedinanunder-usedopenspace, or setting up activity sessions in an empty room?
• What untapped potential is there among your service users or community – e.g. skills and time that could be shared with others or talents that others would benefitfrom?
• What could people do that supports your vision – e.g. if your organisation aims to increase independence, what earning activities would support this, such as befriending or supporting people to access local services?
Examples of Earning activities• Service users or volunteers sitting on
staff interview panels or decision making committees
•Running or helping with activities:
- teaching dance, art & craft, exercise, gardening, language or other classes
- making and displaying advertising posters
- helping plan activities, perhaps on a committee
- preparing activity spaces for use, or helping with refreshments
- sharing skills or experiences either 1-1 or with a group, from reading or budgeting to conversation to showing someone around a service or new town
- cooking or preparing food for group social activities or communal meals
•Sharing personal experiences to help inform service development, advocating on behalf of other service users or community members – acting as an ‘Expert by Experience’
•As a peer supporter, in a group or on a 1-1/buddying basis
•Giving time to help maintain or improve the physical environment, e.g. park clean ups, litter picks, painting & decorating, gardening
People are starting to recognise that we really value their skills…One mum cameinspecificallyfortimecredits
because she wanted to use [the gym]. The Time Credits meant that she kept coming back and now she’s now gone
onto to get a job as a cook at one of our centres.

Spice SupportSpice can help you to identify ways you can develop community
spending, working with you, your service users or community members
and staff.Once you’ve mapped your assets, you can use them to identify earn and spend activities.
To do this, think about the following.

Examples of Community Spending activitiesSocial and group activities, such as•Film nights•Coffee mornings•Pamper evenings• Seasonal events eg Halloween or Easter
parties, summer BBQs
Classes or taster sessions, such as• IT (computer) lessons•Art classes•Exercise or dance classes•Bingo
Access to facilities, such as•Room hire•Skittle lane use•Use of snooker tables or games facilities•Sports facility hire e.g. sports pitch or court•Pitches at car boot sales•DVD or CD hireAccess to entertainment, such as•Music nights or concerts•Plays• VIP areas at public events eg school plays orfireworksnights
Trips. These can be to:• places in the Spending Menu but with
additional transport provided and accessed with Time Credits
• free attractions eg national parks or to go shopping
• paid for attractions, funded through existing budgets or additional fundraising
Parents are now running sessions rather than just attending so the time
credits have encouraged them to take more responsibility. They are
delivering the service alongside us!
Children’s Centre Manager
Community Spending activities• What existing activities, trips and services
that people access could be used as spending activities? If they are paid for, you can run them as dual currency, cash and Time Credits.
• Do you have any activities that are under used? Even if they are free to access at the moment, could you charge a small fee? Often charging for an activity can make it more desirable to people
• Could you add a VIP area or experience to a free activity, e.g. front row seats at a school play?
• What new activities, trips or services that people want to access could you develop withtheresourcesyouhaveidentified?
• What physical resources could you allow access to with credits e.g. room or garden hire?
• What skills or abilities are there among your service users or community members that people could access with Time Credits – e.g. IT skill sharing or arts/sewing groups?
• What could people access that supports your vision– e.g. if you support people to become more physically healthy, could you set up a walking group or dance lessons?

8. rEady To Go
Onceyou’veidentifiedyourstartingpoints,just go for it! Actually handing out your firstTimeCreditscansometimesfeelabitdaunting,butit’sthebestwaytofindoutwhat works.
A good way of getting started is to hold or build on an event where plenty of people can earn credits. This could be:
•A celebration event e.g. a party or fete
• A fundraising or awareness raising event e.g. a seasonal fair or festival
•A service user forum or meeting
• A grounds clear-up or garden maintenance activity.
Straightafteryourfirstearningactivity,it’sagood idea to provide a spending activity as soon as possible, to encourage people to spend their credits. This is very helpful for peoplewhomayfindtheideaoftimeCreditsharder to understand, or who are less likely to try new spending activities. This spending activity might be:
• A group trip to somewhere in the local Time Credits Brochure, e.g. a local leisure centre or entertainment venue
• A spending activity at your organisation e.g. a coffee morning, group meal or pamper session.
Helping people try new activitiesSpending Time Credits at local businesses andleisureservicescanoffergreatbenefitsto people who earn Time Credits, and could be their reason for getting involved in Time Creditsinthefirstplace.However,manypeople often need support to begin spending atnewplacesduetoaccess,confidenceand other barriers, and we work with organisations and groups to do this. This might be through:
• Organising group trips or arranging transport (this could form part of Community Spend)
• Raising awareness of opportunities that people may not have thought would interest them
• Exploring barriers to spending and working with spending partners to address these
• Developing peer support or befriending so people don’t have to go alone
• Identifying new spending opportunities that people want.
Time Credits have helped me to regain some sort of
community life. This time last year I was too afraid to go
outside on my own and knew noone in my local area.

9. adminiSTraTion and moniTorinG
We keep administration as light as possible so you can focus on action, but there is some information that must be collected and returned to your Local Facilitator on a regular basis to help us report on activity and keep programmes running locally. The type of information we ask for includes:
•Member contact details
•Equal opportunities data
• Number of credits issued through earning activities
• Number of credits collected through spending activities.
Our recommendations for administration are:
• Each organisation has one lead person responsible for administration and monitoring
• The lead person gives out notes and forms to everyone who is running a Time Credits activity, who then collect the information from that activity and passing it back to the lead.
We do not share any personal
information about Time Credits
members with anyone else.
Spice SupportSpice provides training and support to make sure organisations are comfortable with administration and reporting. Copies of all the necessary forms and spreadsheet will be provided by your Locality Facilitator.

10. EvalUaTion
Time Credits are a tool for transforming communities and we want to make sure that programmes are making a difference to local people. An independent evaluation team has developed a framework to help us measure the impact of Time Credits on the following areas:
• Individuals improving quality of life and well-being
• Organisations higher quality services and better value for money
• Communities greater sense of community
We use a range of approaches as well as the administration forms to measure the success of Time Credits, and hope you will support us to help collect evaluation data.

Once your service users or community members have been earning and spending for some time and you would like to take the programme further, it’s time to review your Time Credits programme. At this point you will revisit your original vision and aims, and assess how well you feel you are moving towards achieving it. You’ll also revisit your mapping of assets and resources – you might be able to add to it, and you can use it to identify where you roll Time Credits out to next. It’s really useful at this point to make sure the people who are earning and spending Time Credits feed into decisions about growth, so they are driving the programme forward with you.
Reviewing your Time Credits programme, and growing it, is an on-going process that will continue as long as you are using Time Credits, to ensure you are staying true to your vision and to help you achieve meaningful change.
A lot of them [service users] don’t consider themselves volunteers. They
don’t realise a lot of the time that they’re doing something, so when
they get something back... it’s quite inspirational for them.
I have done something, and I am worthwhile.

This has included sharing resources, developing new earning opportunities and holding joint community spend events, such as a bingo night where 3 organisations worked together to provide the venue, equipment, event organisation and volunteers on the day. Your Local Time Credits Facilitator will let you know when these are taking place and we hope you’ll come along.
