Timebanking was introduced in England as a community-based model that enables people to exchange support through time credits. This approach aims to mobilise community assets and promote co-production, strengthening social connections while offering a low-cost preventive care model funded by public bodies and grants.

The UK microcredit initiative uses small, low-interest loans to promote financial inclusion and improve public health. Delivered by socially-oriented lenders like Grameen UK and Scotcash, these loans help individuals on low incomes manage everyday and unexpected expenses, reducing financial stress and supporting wellbeing.
