T4G is a kind corner of the internet where

People trade time for kindness

Here’s how time trading works:

1

You micro-volunteer for a good cause, or help a neighbour / friend / colleague in need.

Perhaps they need someone to talk to their plants while they are away. And water them too.

2

They send you a time credit.

For your kind plant-whispering services. 1 hour = 1 credit.

3

Use the time credit for something you need.

Perhaps someone handy could help you fix a leaky tap, or take some junk to the tip?

Or you can give the time credit to someone in the community who needs it more.

And so the cycle of kindness continues!

If you live away from older parents or grandparents, T4G might be a way to look after them from a distance.

Be kind

We have two fundamental beliefs:

Firstly, we believe that Custard Creams are a better biscuit that Oreos. Secondly, we believe that humans are kind, helpful and trustworthy by default.

Trade time

Give some kindness, get some kindness

Post offers and requests of kindness. Respond to other people’s offers and requests. Do something for someone and receive a time credit. Use it or donate it.
