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
