How
www.oddjobswap.co.uk was born - it is the brainchild of Peter and Julie Bruce, who were thinking of ways to boost community spirit and beat the credit crunch at the same time.
'I'd grown up in an area that had such a strong sense of community spirit and I was wondering where that sense of togetherness had gone,' says Julie.
'We wanted to create something that would bring people together and have a positive impact. With the credit crunch, it's easy to think you can't afford to get work done, but oddjobswap.co.uk looks for the positives, letting people benefit from one another's skills without having to spend loads of money.'
