Simple steps
How a swap works
Three simple steps. No money. Just fair, local skill-swapping.
Tell us what you need
Pick a skill from the catalogue, say how many hours you need, and write one sentence about the job.
Offer a skill in return
Choose something you can do. The system works out the points for each side so the swap is fair.
Agree a fair swap
When both sides have equal points, you both agree and arrange a time. Everything stays on the site.
Try it out
What could you swap?
