are, how you can earn them, and how you can
spend them.

are being earned and spent all over the
country. You’re now part of a network of over
13,000 people and hundreds of organisations
who give their time to their community.
Welcome to the team.
Here in South West Wales, 11,000 hours have
been given and 53 community groups are
involved. You can join in too, in a way that
suits you. Have a look on the Team Page to
find out how.

Look out for the Time Credit icons
This blue ‘Spend’ icon appears alongside each activity
to tell you how many Time Credits you’ll need to take part.
The green ‘Earn’ icon lets you know how many Time Credits
can be earned for each activity on the dark green ‘Earn’ pages.
Where this icon appears, it means there are various activities
available with different Time Credits values.

Gym, learning to skate at Ramps, challenging friends to a game at
Xcel Bowl, or enjoying a show at Theatrau Sir Gar and more – there’s
already lots of great places to spend Time Credits in Carmarthenshire.

Hello I’m Steve and I
am the time schools
manager for spice. My
role involves working
alongside primary and
secondary schools in
Wales to develop and
integrate time credit
systems in their schools.
Colin Batten
Partnerships Manager

colin@justaddspice.org
07462 226175
I’m the Partnerships
Manager for Wales and
by working closely with
Spice’s locality workers
and the wider community
I look to identify new
corporate spend partners
and to widen Spice’s
network geographically.
How Time Credits work
We all need a little help sometimes, for lots
of different things. Our communities are no
different, and this is where Time credits come in.
If you give an hour of your time to your
community, your community will say thank
you by giving you an hour back to spend on
something you like to do. Everyone’s
hour is worth the same and everyone
gets thanked. There’s no limit to how many
credits you can earn, and the more you earn
the more you can spend.
Time Credits never expire and they don’t cost
any money. There are lots of ways to earn Time
Credits across your community, and hundreds
of ways to spend them across the country. You
can earn and spend in a way that suits you.
Why? Because everyone has something to give,
and ultimately, because a bit of time together
makes all the difference.
Carers or support workers are given free entry
with anyone who has earned Time Credits
and needs a bit of extra assistance. If you or
someone you know or support have any specific
accessibility needs, please call our friendly
partners before visiting, they’ll be happy to help.

All the great ways to spend your Time Credits
you see in this brochure are provided by
businesses, councils and community groups.
They do not receive any payment for providing
these opportunities. We think you’ll agree that’s
rather nice of them, so let them know if you
enjoyed their activity, and feel free to tell them
how you earned your credits.
If you have problems with any of the
opportunities listed, get in touch with us straight
away so we can chat to these helpful partners of
ours and iron things out.
The small print: We do not provide the services and activities where you can earn Time Credits or the
activities where Time credits can be spent, and so we accept no liability for the quality, adequacy or
suitability of any such services or activities.
