Streetbank is a website that allows you to see all that your neighbours are giving away or lending. It is a giant attic, garden shed, toolkit, fancy dress chest, library and DVD collection for you and anyone living within 1000 yards of your home.
How it works
For example, Jack needs a long ladder to fix his guttering. He joins streetbank by putting in his his postcode and finds that Sally down the road has one which she hardly ever uses. Jack borrows the ladder and now, when he meets Sally in the road they smile and say hello.
Frequently asked questions
What's in it for me?
General happiness and a whole lot of free stuff! You save money, it’s good for the environment and you connect with your community.
How is it going?
Well, but we need your help! We are growing in numbers by 10% a month but most people don’t know about us yet. If you could email a few friends and give this flyer to your neighbour we would be grateful.
What do I do?
Sign up, give your postcode, add one item and see all the items within a 1000 yard radius of your home.
Do I need to add something?
Yes, the price of membership is that you must add one thing or skill. However big or small its likely to be useful to someone.
What can I add?
Anything you like, it doesn't have to be special. Add a DVD, get a whole DVD library in return. Add a magazine, and get access to a whole rack. Everyone is richer when we share.
