  • Around 300 people in one of the UK’s most deprived boroughs are selling their Slivers-of-Time around other commitments as a result of our pilot. Their buyers included corporations, the public sector and small businesses.

    Early signs are that “bits of work” can make a life changing difference for people who can’t accomodate an old-fashioned job. Purchasing those bits from trained individuals could lead to much more responsive public services.
