Cornwall Link & Time4Good are collaborating to create kinder, more connected communities across Cornwall and Isles of Scilly.
Time4Good is a groundbreaking social networking platform where people 'micro-volunteer' for charities, causes and each other.
Founded by Cornwall-based social technology entrepreneur Geoff Muskett, Time4Good encourages individuals to incorporate small acts of kindness into their daily routines. Whether it's volunteering for a local charity or assisting a neighbour with gardening, the platform enables users to make a positive impact through meaningful contributions that easily fit into their busy lives, without requiring long-term commitments.
Unlike traditional social platforms, where likes and shares dominate, Time4Good rewards its members with kindness points and heartfelt thank-yous. By engaging in acts of kindness, users earn points that can be redeemed for various rewards, recognising their positive contributions. This unique approach inspires individuals to spread more kindness and make a difference in their communities.
Circles of kindess
At the core of Time4Good are “Circles,” where members can share and request acts of kindness. These Circles can be tailored for charities, neighbourhoods, workplaces or simply groups of friends. Members can join multiple Circles to discover opportunities, provide support, or seek help from others.
Time4Good caters to a growing movement of social consciousness, particularly among Gen Z and Millennials, who are eager to give back but need flexible opportunities. The platform enables users to easily find and track their volunteer hours, helping them maintain a personal record of their contributions. Additionally, members can enhance their CVs with thank-you notes and feedback from those they've helped, highlighting their impact and commitment to making a meaningful difference in their communities.
"We created Time4Good because we fundamentally believe in the goodness of people. Research shows that people want to give time and be kind in their communities but busyness gets in the way. Time4Good is a social network where people can help a charity, a group or their neighbour, in bite-sized but meaningful ways that fit around their life." Geoff Muskett - Founder
