What is CFE? View our list of members here
Imagine you wanted to help your friends and neighbours and they wanted to help you in return. Wouldn't it make life easier and help build the community spirit we keep talking about? Maybe you have a large job to do like digging your garden or decorating your house and want to call a favour from others to help you - and to be able to pay them back in kind? CFE makes that possible by connecting people who are willing to work for each other in this way while keeping a central directory of who can offer what and who has helped who. The CFE system is designed to be effective, reliable and practical - and professionally maintained.
If you join the scheme your talents and skills or offers of labour will be listed for others in the scheme to see. You will then have access to their skills and labour and they can call on you in return. Each quarter-hour worked for someone else in the scheme gains a credit, each quarter-hour worked for you spends one. An open register is kept of who has done what and to maintain a fair balance of time worked. The system is open and democratic and aims to build a self-help community while sharing talents and time for the benefit of members. Read more about what we do
