Volunteering agency TimeBank has been awarded £457,500 by the Community Fund to 
develop a strategic media unit.
The agency is described by SocietyGuardian as “threatened”
financially because its core government funding from the Home Office’s Active Communities
Unit (ACU), comprising 72% of its total income, comes to an end in March 2004. It
is currently under review.

Timebank will also receive support for the new development from the BBC, Channel
4 and Granada.
