FAIR SHARES is a new kind of money based on time. You earn one Fair Share for each hour that you spend providing a service for another participant. You can spend your Fair Shares when you need a service from someone else, give them to a member of your family who needs some help or save them up for future use.
The project has its own shop in Newent, that is staffed by participants 5 mornings a week, for which they earn credits. Membership has grown to over 70 and participants are drawn from Newent and many of the surrounding villages in this part of the Forest of Dean.The growth in services offered has matched the growth in membership. Gardening continues to be very popular but more unusual and equally popular services include Aural Training and Stress Management.
