Time spent helping an older person earned an equivalent time credit (calculated in 15 minute segments). So for example, a member spending 45 minutes making breakfast for their neighbour would earn a credit of 45 minutes which would be recorded for future use; members in effect built up a ‘care pension’ for their own old age. Care4Care was a collaboration between Professor Heinz Wolff, The Young Foundation and Age UK, Isle of Wight.
