Tempo

Founded in the Welsh Valleys in 2009, Tempo has emerged as a leading UK-based community development organisation committed to creating connected, fair, and healthier societies.

Our extensive history is marked by successful partnerships with communities and public  services, specialising in front-line delivery, strategic planning, and fostering collaboration among diverse entities.

Our experienced team, composed of community practitioners, public sector specialists, and trainers, works collaboratively with citizens, communities, organisations, and services to co-produce solutions at the grassroots level. We work alongside communities to connect people to the causes close to them – enabling and encouraging participation and volunteering by awarding Time Credits that recognise and value skills and their contribution.

We focus on community engagement to create pathways to involvement and volunteering, emphasising community involvement and recognising people's skills and strengths – an approach that accentuates what's strong rather than what's wrong.

How Time Credits work

Time Credits are received by people sharing their time and skills with the community or a service. Time Credit ‘EARN’ activities could be anything from litter picking, campaigning, and participating in co-design sessions to volunteering at a food bank, theatre, or sports club.

Time Credits can be used on activities through Tempo’s local, regional, and national Recognition Partner network, from swimming in your local leisure centre to watching a show at Wales Millennium Centre or taking an Uber Boat down the Thames. Time Credits operate via a network of participating services, charities, community groups, and Recognition Partners.
