Wellington LA21 Group has opened a Time Bank for the Wellington
area based upon the model now well established by Time Banks UK.
A Time Bank allows anyone who gives up time to do volunteering to receive a
reciprocal amount of time in return for a service of his or her choice(similar
to a LETS scheme but without the currency).

We would like to thank The Lottery Fund, Awards for All, Telford & Wrekin
Council and New College, Wellington for their help.
Local Agenda 21 aims to tackle global and local environment and social injustices
through the action of local people.
We strongly believe in working together in partnership to make Wellington and the world a
better place to live in now and for future generations.
We are an established group rooted in Wellington Town that is committed to
the LA21 process and we recognise the importance of community engagement
in our actions. Our committee continues to successfully show commitment
to raising the profile of both local and global environmental issues whilst
maintaining a sustainable environment on which to base honesty and understanding
within the community.
We are developing heritage trails in and around Wellington in a project
called 'Discovering Wellington.' There will be signposted walking and
cycling routes. For more information please

Why Eat Local Food?
Buying local food helps encourage local economic activity, eliminating much of the need
for packaging, and reducing long-distance transport. Small scale producers can help
increase farm diversity and as a result improve agricultural stability and wildlife
habitats.
Local supplies may be fresher, healthier and more nutritious, as it does not travel
so far. For a local food guide please
