2. Our vision is to achieve a cohesive community in
the Rushey Green area, where neighbours know
neighbours and can rely on each other for help
and support. Where people of different ages,
cultures, backgrounds and abilities interact with
each other on an equal footing and with mutual
respect and understanding.

3. Our mission is to empower the residents of Catford
(including but not exclusively the patients of the
Rushey Green Group Practice) to improve their
own health and sense of well-being, and thus
improve the health of the Catford community as a
whole.

7. • Time banks are particularly effective at engaging
people from socially excluded group who can also
experience health inequalities.
• Have a positive impact on the health of people with
mental and physical ill health – and particularly on
people who have a combination of the two.
• Enable people who have been passive recipient of
care and services to become active in achieving
their wellbeing.
• Provide people who are socially isolated with a
caring network of social support.

18. “I joined the Rushey Green Group Practice 8 years ago. An important element
in my decision to become a GP partner at this Practice was the presence of the
Time Bank - and the role this Practice has played in the hosting and support to
this extraordinary Charity. Over the years, Time Bank has become part of Practice
life, and has established itself as a resource and reassuring alternative to the
many options open to doctors and nurses working here in the care they provide
to our patients. Time Bank has always been welcoming and supportive, a source
of advice and help to an increasing number of people, and in many cases has
become part of the "treatment" on offer. No matter age, education, social
extraction, cultural background or genre, Time Bank has been there when it was
needed. By now Time Bank means reassurance, integration, advocacy
and reliable support. For many of my patients, Time bank has been, and
continues to be, the best "medicine" on offer. (Dr Alberto Febles Rushey Green
Group Practice)
