What's it all about?
Everyone can be involved and contribute- no matter what you're good at! In fact, part of the beauty of the scheme is that there are many skills which don't require tons of experience- dog walking, cleaning and basic cooking are all among these.
Members of Hertford Skill Share can earn one token for every hour (or as otherwise agreed at the time) they give, which they can in turn exchange for another member's skills.
If you're interested in joining the group then please show your interest by joining this group on the Transition Website. More details are to follow, including how to join as an official member!
To see an example of an up and running, and very successful, Skills Share based in Nottingham then visit the following link. On the Right hand side of the page is a link to the skills they have on offer if you'd like some inspiration!

I'm not sure what skills I have to offer! Is there a list of skills we might be able to trade?
