The Story of Streetbank

• Defines Streetbank: – A website showing all the things and skills your

neighbours will lend or give away– Rated by The Times as one of the 50 websites you can’t live

without

• BUT Streetbank is not really used for lending

Two points: 1. Free digital tools:

– Restart Project– Easycarclub– Freecycle/freegle/ streetbank

2. No magic formula
