The Jumilla Time Bank has completed its first year of life with a balance of 150 donated hours and approximately 500 pending hours to donate.
The initiative launched by the Department of Volunteering together with the Most Active Association currently has 60 different activities, some of them weekly, and about 30 active donors.
Last Friday, the hall of the Casa de la Cultura hosted an event in which the project was officially presented to the different associations and local collectives and at the same time the first twelve months of existence were taken into account.
The Mayor of Jumilla, Juana Guardiola, and the Councilor for Volunteering, Lucía Jiménez, were present, as well as the president of the Most Active Association, Teresa Ruiz and the technician of the same, Eugenio Piñero, who announced the continuity of the Time Bank and the renewal of the agreement between the City Council and the association.
Finally diplomas were given to the time donors themselves, who told their experience in the first person.
In the Time Bank people donate part of their time to perform any type of activity that serves another person.
Then they will have that time in their favor to benefit from another activity that other people organize and that may interest them.
