We connect people across Moffat, Beattock, and the wider Upper Annandale area — and welcome members from neighbouring communities too. Our members exchange time, skills, and occasionally goods to help each other with everyday tasks, sharing practical help and friendly support, just like good neighbours do.
We believe in building a strong, caring, and resilient community where everyone’s time and talents are valued equally. Whether you’re offering a hand, sharing something you no longer need, learning a new skill, or getting a bit of help when you need it, the Timebank is here to make connections and strengthen local ties.
The reward is simple — time. For every hour you spend helping someone, you earn an hour’s credit you can use to ask another member for help (or something useful) in return.
Being part of the Timebank is a simple way to feel more connected to your community. It’s about neighbours helping neighbours, sharing skills, goods, and support, and discovering what we can achieve together when everyone’s time is valued equally.
You might help someone with gardening, lifts, baking, or DIY — or offer creative skills, friendly conversation, or advice. You can also exchange useful items you no longer need or share homegrown produce. In return, you can ask for help with something you need, knowing your time credits make it a fair and friendly exchange.
Joining is free, and you can give as much or as little time as you like. Every exchange helps build trust, connection, and a stronger, more caring Upper Annandale for everyone.
A Timebank isn’t just a way to get things done — it’s a way to feel part of something bigger. It opens the door to new friendships, shared experiences, and the confidence that help is never far away. Whether you join to offer your time, receive support, or simply be part of a kinder, more connected community, the Timebank grows stronger with every person who takes part.
