Jubillees; one in twenty-five year opportunities to rebuild connection with neighbours?

Don't wait another 25 years to build community again; build on the wish for it around the Jubilee & promote http://streetbank.com/ ; you know it makes sense!

streetbank presents "community" as a (quality of life enhancing) response to the over-consumption of resources



Is there a better time than NOW to join http://streetbank.com & to contact the team ("Lend-It-All Man", Mediation Support, Freelending CIC and St Leonards Sharing Consortium) about how to go from having a few streetbank members to having a community that really shares it's resources and resourcefulness thanks to the dedicated work of those joining a six-week drive to build those caring and sharing connections around you?
Contact us through the Mediation Support contact form, or phone/text Paul on 0780 7066202.
More background on the steps suggested to building a "more caring and sharing community around you": 1) Lend It All Man & the Moneyless Man 2) The Moneyless Man (Mark Boyle) & Freelender at Buddhafield Festival 3) Turning these ideas (& A FEW MORE RECENT INTERCONNECTED IDEAS) into, what within my (spiritual) community is called a "Team Based Right Livelihood":

Responding to a request to borrow the live-in vehicle "Anticipate Happiness" for a pilgrimage to Holy Island


Dear Ian (Copied to Steve and blind copied to Su, who has the other keys to the van -as an anniversary present) 
Steve has initiated you into the way of the freelender and I wonder how the journey will change you? 
I'd love it if you obtained a book on pilgrimage and shared it with me in some way eg YouTube -my channel is here (the book I nearly bought on Sunday about pilgrimage is this one by Rujumati - "Pilgrimage to Anywhere") 
In fact I'd love to here more about the spirit in which you wish to borrow a van in order to go on the pilgrimage. Have you given much thought to freelending yet and what are you going to freelend to which strangers? How will you test your boundaries in doing this, whilst still being a responsible custodian? 
When you rang, my woman and I were celebrating our anniversary by watching the film Shame -highly recommended and available from me and the Southwater Streetbank Depot. 
My calendar for availability of the van is on my additionalinfo.blogspot.co.uk hub site, and the calendar is specifically at: http://additionalinfo.blogspot.co.uk/p/paul-croslands-calendar.html 
Looking forward to hearing back from you and wishing you all the best with your dream cycle (Dream-Plan-Do-Review). Any thoughts yet as to how you might raise the £1,000 deposit on the van (Anticipate Happiness)?; Steve had £800 I believe.

Best wishes with your journey

Paul

Having friends over or going camping etc?; borrow inflatable mattresses, sleeping bags, pillows etc if you are a freelender on streetbank dot com

 Become a streetbank freelender i.e. Step one of the great new world of sharing comes from offering to lend something (or everything -as "Lend-It-All Man" does!) for free to someone you don't yet know: http://streetbank.com
