Leisure bank: Anyone can borrow free
Many municipalities, including Östra Göinge, already have a leisure bank.
ABK is providing premises at Sommarlust.
”If you want to go camping, for instance, you can borrow both a tent, a sleeping-bag and a primus stove”Pia Olsson
– You can borrow everything you need,so you can try out the activity that interests you. If you want to go camping, for instance, you can borrow both a tent, a sleeping-bag and a primus stove. Quite simply, we want to get the people in Kristianstad moving, says Pia Olsson.
The premises at Sommarlust will open for the public in about a month. Even now people who would like to donate their old sports equipment are welcome to do so.
– There is a box at the entrance to the Town Hall that we empty regularly, says Pia Olsson.
Here's how to borrow equipment at Fritidsbanken.
* Anyone can borrow, and it doesn't cost anything at all.
* The loan is registered on an i-pad and the person borrowing shows his ID card and gives his cellphone number.
* The loan is for 14 days. After 12 days a message is sent to remind the borrower that it is soon time to return the equipment.
* If something a person has borrowed gets broken, the borrower never has to replace it.
