Why community matters now more than ever
Coming together during tough times is in our DNA. Here’s how helping others can help you keep smiling through the crisis.
We all know how to borrow books, but what about applying that to other everyday items? A Library of Things could be the answer. It’s a simple concept: you can rent all sorts of products donated by local people – from DIY equipment to sewing machines – for free or for a small fee, and just bring them back when you're done.
You could save money and space and reduce waste by renting useful stuff that you’d otherwise have to buy and store. And if there isn’t a Library of Things in your area, it's easy to start your own. All you need is some local support and a bit of backing to get you set up, and you could build a fantastic community resource.
Then you might need a bank account that’s especially for charities and other not-for-profit organisations.

To qualify for free banking at least one of the parties named in the application must be an existing NatWest personal or business banking customer and your community account's annual credit turnover is less than £100,000.
