Mandy Palmer

TimeBank Waimakariri Coordinator

Kia ora Koutou My name is Mandy Palmer and I took over the role of TimeBank Waimakariri Coordinator from Martin Pugh on 1 July. Since May 2020 I have been living the lifestyle block dream on 12 acres in Eyrewell Forest with my hubby Daniel, our two teenagers, two calves, one elderly cat and a possum. Before that we lived in Waikuku for 16 years where I was involved with the Waikuku Artists Inc. I have also been involved with the Pegasus Bay Art Show and Arts Canterbury. I am really excited to be able to utilise the skills I have gained within these arts organisations to help support the TimeBank Waimakariri community, and I look forward to seeing it grow and flourish. TimeBank is a way of offering your skills and connecting with your community. It’s a system that values everyone’s time and skills as equal, no matter what you have to offer, which is something that really resonated with me.
