Vox helps IT student to do people a favour
June 2005

A new national website which helps people swap favours for free has been receiving with PR support from Vox.
FavourXchange.co.uk is a site which allows people to post messages outlining the jobs they would like someone in their local community to do, and offering a list of tasks they could do in exchange.
The site is the brainchild of James Senior, a final year computing student who believes the world wide web could be a high-tech way of getting communities back in the habit of doing favours for each other for no cost.
"It's the perfect way to get that job done that you can't or won't do yourself, or need some help with, and it's free!" says James.
"It's a very sustainable method of getting a job done, it should involve little travel, some favours have green elements such as car-sharing or recycling, and it can help strengthen neighbourhoods. I chose Vox partly because they support sustainable working and living, but also because they have such a strong reputation for getting media coverage. I've been really delighted with the amount of activity on the site as a result of the work they've done."
