With their unique Community Workspace, FreeTimePays is able help those who are inspired and serious about taking things to the next level. FreeTimePays will give these people their own access rights environment where they can work on their idea or project.

In this digital space they can work alone, or bring in others to share in building evidence, acquiring knowledge and developing plans. This is the ideal space for working on the business; working on the idea; working on the initiative.

A range of facilities and tools can be found in workspace and users can effectively utilise this space for collating documents, photos, videos and web links, for opening up discussion and chat with others, or for running surveys and analysing results.

In this space people are in complete control with what they store and who they decide to invite in and join them.

The FreeTimePays doors are not just for those thinking of running a business or taking a venture forward. For those pursuing their passion on a voluntary basis, there is so much to offer.

Whatever the content, whether photos, images, videos, documents, or links to places on the web, people can build their very own protected resource, deciding to share it with others whenever and if ever they feel the time is right.

Passport is a personal space which registered members can make their own.

With a passport, members can choose to get involved with their passion and participate in many different ways.

They can view regular content and posts; sort and save this content by type or by passion; they can collect points for giving their views through polls and surveys, attend events or even join a discussion.

With a FreeTimePays Community Passport, members can follow inspiring people and they can learn more about their community and their passion by following regular 'Did you Know' features. And the more they decide to do and the more they get involved, the more points they collect and the greater the opportunity to take up offers and win prizes.

People can register and obtain a Community Passport at a growing number of websites.

Members looking to contribute and add content are given additional access rights so they can submit posts. Posts can be created on any device and it's quick and it's easy to do.

Their contribution can be a photo, a video, a poll or a quick survey. It could be news, a 'Did you Know' article or something inspirational. A title can be added to the post as well as additional text and links to other documents. Tags can be included, a publish date added and a preferred location for the post selected.

Once prepared, it is then submitted. All content that is submitted is viewed and approved prior to publication. And once published, the contributor can sit back and watch others who share their passion respond through likes and further contact.

The whole focus and rationale for FreeTimePays is MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

It's our job at FreeTimePays to provide the tools and functionality that helps bring together those who create the GREAT IDEAS with those who have the potential to turn an IDEA into something that really does MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Matchmaker is where the dreamers can join with the dream makers – with those who are more than happy to put their support, their resources, their connections, and their wealth of experience behind the idea and behind the passionate people responsible for coming up with the idea.

These are the community drivers, the investors, the philanthropists, the funders of great initiatives, the Lottery, and those from local government and the public sector who are responsible for the provision of public services.

It is only right that people who connect with their community and share their passion for others to enjoy and benefit from should be recognised.

At communities set up and run by FreeTimePays we show our appreciation and that of others with annual awards programmes recognising the work of People with Passion.

We also run a form of gamification where people who contribute and get involved in various ways are recognised through the allocation of passion points.

We are currently working at developing this further and looking at passion points as a digital currency for recognising the contribution to social value by individuals, community and business.

There are many applications of mapping being employed by FreeTimePays.

One of the main uses is when displaying places of interest. A layered map gives the viewer an interactive way of selecting their passions and drilling into places of interest to see more detail.

Interactive maps are also being employed increasingly as ways of engaging community and visually presenting the results of such engagement.
