10 ideas for change: The Sharing Economy

How can sharing boost local economies, build community and improve the resilience of neighbourhoods? Here’s ten sharing projects that are creating change in local areas:

  • Reduce food waste: There are a number of schemes focused on collecting food that would otherwise go to waste and redistributing it among those in need. Fareshare feeds more than 43,000 people across the UK every day and in Germany and France, Disco Soup combines food sharing with music. Discarded vegetables from local markets and other suppliers are cooked up into a soup and shared with homeless people in a town centre setting with a disco backdrop.

JenniferTankardIn December 2013, seven of the main high street lenders took a landmark step towards greater transparency in how they serve local economies.  The participating lenders, Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC, RBS, Santander, Clydesdale & Yorkshire and Nationwide, released data on personal loans, residential mortgages and loans to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) at a postcode sector level. Participating banks will release this data quarterly for lending in the previous six months. The second tranche of data is due for release in April.
