Badajoz Time Bank and Volunteer Network

What BTVB is

Banco del Tiempo y del Voluntariado de Badajoz (BTVB) is a platform promoted by Badajoz City Council's Municipal Institute of Social Services. Adult city residents exchange hours of help and skills, while citizens and social organizations use it to find volunteers or promote activities.

How it works

Registration is free and open to adults. Users create a profile and post specific offers or requests. Exchanges are measured in time rather than money. Social organizations can request volunteers and publicise initiatives in the city.

Activities and services

Typical exchanges include:

• Help with household tasks
• Companionship for older people
• Assistance with weekly shopping
• Pet care
• Language teaching or conversation practice
• Volunteering with social organizations
• Digital-skills support for older people
• Participation in NGO and foundation projects and events

Published activity figures

The platform itself reports 3,641 registered users, 243 active exchanges and 84 participating social organizations. These figures should be treated as a dated platform snapshot.

Organizations and events

Participants named include Fundación Marcelino Champagnat, Asociación Serem and Asociación Victoria Kent. The site also publishes a calendar of charitable walks, races and other volunteering news in Badajoz and Extremadura.
